from the dept. Palm CEO Carl Yankowski unveiled eWallet at the Computer Electronics Show on Saturday, an upcoming feature that will allow Palm users to buy products and services via their handhelds. "The handheld will be transformed into a wallet this year," said Yankowski, "and it will act as a debit card in your Palm with a secure IR connection which will replace a card swipe." Through an alliance with Ingenico, Visa and Hewlett-Packard subsidiary VeriFone, eWallet will let consumers conduct secure purchases by beaming personal information through the infrared port found on most Palms. < | >
