Buy a Coke With Your Phone

A new coke machine in Japan called the Cmo2 supports I-Mode phones with FeliCa capability (allowing mobile phone users to pay for small purchases simply by waving their phones over sensors) according to NEAsia via Mike's List.

"To buy a coke, the thirsty user holds his expensive Japanese phone up to a special pad, and the transaction takes place in half a second. The machine also has an LCD screen for game playing.

The first Cmo2 machines hit Japan in September".
