Gruß Prof.Dr.Weissnix Rechne immer mit dem Schlimmsten... und Du kannst nur positiv überrascht werden :-)
Hallo, also bislang war das auf dem iPhone nicht möglich, da Apple die NFC Schnittstelle für andere Anbieter gesperrt hatte. Womöglich sind die Zeitungsartikel zu dem Thema einfach schlecht recherchiert und die Neuigkeit ist nicht, dass zahlen mit Paypal über das Smartphone an der Ladenkasse, sondern: dass zahlen mit Paypal über das IPHONE an der Ladenkasse? Gruß
