The common objection to using your phone for purchases is that any sufficiently-motivated criminal could lop off your thumb (http://www.engadget.com/2014/09/05/barclays-biometric-fingerprint-scanner/) and go on a spending spree. That's one of the reasons why Japanese carrier NTT DoCoMo (http://www.engadget.com/2014/08/21/lte-laa/) and Fujitsu (http://www.engadget.com/2015/01/13/fujitsu-handwriting-ring/) have teamed up to unveil the Arrows NX F-04G. The pair say that it's the world's first smartphone with iris recognition technology that can be used to both unlock a device and certify mobile wallet (http://www.engadget.com/2014/09/03/isis-mobile-wallet-becomes-softcard/) payments.
