Wall St Jnl article - Day four

"While U.S. consumers still mostly use their cellphones to simply talk -- or perhaps send text messages to their friends -- their Asian counterparts are increasingly using mobile phones to help manage their spiritual, social and everyday needs.

Some cellphones also contain technology that allows them to double as debit and credit cards."
