At SXSW Interactive this year, LevelUp was pushing big for its mobile app payment technology.
I'm curious about the market for payments with mobile apps - to me it seems similar to QR Codes, where pundits get excited over the possibilities, but users just aren't interested. I'm guessing this is different outside the US, where credit and debit cards are extremely popular.

Yea, they did a killer job at SXSW this year getting in front of a lot of people and making real transactions. The hardware is great, but getting stuff into vendors is hard.
