Weekly Poll: Are You Ready for Mobile Payments?

This week, on ReadWriteWeb, we reported on a survey run by MasterCard, which found that 63% of the younger generation was ready and eager for NFC (near field communication) and mobile payments. According to the survey results, those aged 18-34 are comfortable with the idea of using their phone for purchases, as compared with older generation (35+). Of course, MasterCard’s survey was designed to ensure a reliable and accurate sampling of the U.S. population…which makes us wonder: how much higher would this percentage be if you just asked early adopters the same question? Want to find out? Play along with us by sharing your thoughts in this week’s ReadWriteMobile poll.
