Default Your Cellphone is Your Front Door Key

http://www.engadget.com/entry/6203210443253966/

"Alright, you probably already don’t like losing your cellphone, and it’ll be even worse when your cellphone also doubles as your wallet, but pretty soon it might also double as your front door key. At least in Japan, where several companies are working together to adapt NTT DoCoMo’s FeliCa wireless payment system so that you can also use your cellphone to lock and unlock doors (one bad thing: if there’s a blackout, you better hope that the backup battery in the door doesn’t run out)."

I had heard about this idea years ago. Now imagine how this might work in the case of the MPx220. You come up to your front door, press the appropriate keys, and hear the toilet flush inside your house. :lol:

Phones are really becoming the one-stop device. I wonder what else they will think of next?
