We’ve all already heard about the Japanese using contactless cellphone credit card payments (especially via cellphone, those cellphones especially being NTT DoCoMo FeliCa cellphones) but apparently they’ve also begun a pilot program called QUICPay (what, no K? Oh yeah, it’s Japan.) for properly enabled DoCoMo phones to make payments in Tokyo cabs. Heading to Harijuku to pick up on babydoll goth girls has never been easier!
