Los Angeles Gadget Girlies and Guys, tonight you are getting ready for a night on the town! First, you have to find your car keys. Check! Your cell phone. Check! Your wallet and/or purse. Check! Your lipgloss/chapstick and your groove. Check and Check! You jump into your car and realize how much you love your $300+ smartphone. You use it to text your friends and let them know that you are on your way. Next, you use it as a GPS system and type in your first destination, Saints and Sinners, an ultra cool lounge in West Los Angeles. If the name of this first spot is any indication of the night's festivities, you'll be praying for forgiveness in the morning!
You arrive with ease, walk up to the bar and order the first round of drinks for you and your bff's. You spend a few hours there laughing and catching up, then you are off to your next destination, The Conga Room, where any given Monday, Jamie Foxx packs the place with beautiful people and brings on performers who make you wish you too, could carry a tune.
You head to the bar, order your adult beverage, but when you pull out your wallet, you realize that you have no more cash, (because you kept buying rounds for everyone at the first spot) and you've left your debit/credit card(s) in your other wallet! No worries! You've had forethought and invested in your smartphone, which just happens to be the new Nexus S 4G by Google. Yes, you are one of the cool kids! You live in Los Angles, (one of the 5 cities chosen for the roll out). Your phone service is with Sprint, the NOW network! Yes! You are a starter and not a bench warmer! Your phone is the latest and greatest! Which means, your phone also comes with a mobile payment system that allows you to swipe your phone, YES, your phone, at any of MasterCard's 124,000 Pay Pass Terminals. Your phone is equipped with a Citibank issued MasterCard credit card number and a virtual Google MasterCard prepaid card. So, let the debauchery continue! You pull out your phone. You wave it across the terminal. You thank the Google Gods and you let the good times roll! Now, if your phone could only get that cute guy/girl to walk over to you...
