I worked for ViVOtech (one of the biggest PayPass Point of Sale vendors) back in 2003; it is always surprising to me how widely deployed the readers seem to be, and how little actual use there is, even today.

Something like this could go a long way toward adoption, but I'd be a bit concerned that RFID/NFC might be bypassed by cheap CCD/CMOS.
