Are Credit Cards Redundant?

I see that technology is advancing now so that the mobile phone will in future also be your credit card.

I suppose we should drop the word phone as the mobile is now much more than that.

Apparently Barclaycard has teemed up with mobile network Everything Everywhere to form a partnership to bring the new system into operation.

Everything Everywhere includes Orange and T-Mobile networks.
