About time. And product. And being more deliberate.

I still think swiping is more elegant, because it doesn’t require as much precise positioning. I know from experience using barcode scanners on my smartphone regularly that the positioning of the thing and the camera is just not intuitive.
But tapping would be even more sexy – using NFC to read the card data would be fast and simple. The trick with it I think is to prevent tapping your phone and just charging. I think it would be useful to have something like chip and pin for this.
