From debit and credit cards, to UPI, how we make payments have evolved rapidly over the years. UPI payments happen through our phones, but the next big thing in payment is payment through wearables. <br /><br />“Wearable payment refers to a contactless payment method made through wearable devices that support the near field communication (NFC) method” says Atish Shelar, COO of Tech Fini, a fintech company. These wearables act as a digital wallet, storing your credit card or bank account information securely. <br /><br />IndusInd Bank has introduced 'Indus PayWear’ where one can make payments with wearables such as rings and watch clasps, secured via card tokenization tech. Priced between ₹499 and ₹2,999, they offer an alternative to traditional cards and payment apps. Initially this is exclusive to Mastercard.<br /><br />“Recently introduced contactless payment wearables are slowly gaining popularity among consumers. Integrating tokenization with wearable payments would be like tokenising physical cards that replace actual card details with unique 'tokens’. This initiative will boost consumer confidence,” says Rahul Jain,CFO, NTT DATA Payment Services India. <br /><br /><strong>How RBI made had made wearable payments possible</strong> <br /><br />We need to go back to understand how wearable payments have been made possible. <br /><br />“A few years ago RBI asked every point of sales (POS) machine to accept contactless payments. RBI pushing it as a mandatory thing has led everyone to adopt on the POS machine side, which in turn gives the chance to bring this facility that to customers,” says Sai Prasanth, Co-founder and CEO, Muse Wearables, which designs payment-enabled hybrid smartwatches. <br /><br />“Most of the wearable payments options in India are based on card form factor and to make these card based wearable payments more safe and secure, RBI had extended the scope for card tokenization to include wearables (smart watches, bands, etc.) back in 2021 and also increased the limit for contactless transactions( from ₹2,000 to ₹5,000) to boost adoption,” says says Jitin Sehgal, Partner, Consulting, Deloitte India. <br /><br />In addition, we have also witnessed initiatives from NPCI in this space, such as launch of “OTG Ring for NCMC”, and “RuPay On-the-Go”. <br /><br /><strong>Wearable payment market in India in the nascent stages</strong> <br /><br />The wearable payments market in India appears to be in nascent stages from customer adoption standpoint, even though a number of domestic companies are gaining market share in wearable device manufacturing. <br /><br />In 2020, SBI and Titan launched a range of watches with contactless payment functions. Axis Bank also launched its own range of wearable contactless devices in 2021. <br /><br />“We have seen launch of wearable payments options such as rings, watch claps, mobile stickers, by both public and private sector banks, however adoption seems to relatively slow,” says Sehgal. <br /><br /><strong>Several challenges remain</strong> <br /><br />“Some of the key reasons for slow adoption have been limitation on extending existing wearables such as smart watches to support payments, limitation on contactless acceptance infrastructure, wearable device issuance charges from banks, managing customer experience on the device for entering PIN for transactions above the value threshold,” says Sehgal. <br /><br />NFC technology may not be universally accepted at all payment terminals, and consumers may not be aware of the availability or functionality of these devices. “Consumers may also prefer established payment methods, which requires clear benefits and incentives. Security features and consumer education are essential to address these concerns,” says Shelar. <br /><br />Also, there is a lot of dependencies that need to be worked on with all financial partners before seamless wearable payments system can be introduced. <br /><br /><strong>The road ahead</strong> <br /><br />Until recently most of the tap and pay systems were available through passive tokenisation methodology where the card details were directly put into a wearable device before the shipment or before it was sold to the customers. People have to keep on topping up their cards. <br /><br />“With active tokenization, you can have any number of cards and transfer the information to a wearable on a real time basis and your debit or credit card is directly linked to your wearable,” says Prashant. <br /><br />Now, since there is a limit on contactless transactions, customers would need to carry their card anyway to make payments of over ₹5,000. Once this limit is relaxed, wearable payments are likely to pick up. <br /><br />There is already an ecosystem of wearable devices in India from domestic and global brands for instance for smart watches. “We believe the wearable payments market could see higher adoption once the existing wearable devices can be easily extended to support payments by all the major banks, as not many customers will not prefer buying a separate device for payments, just on the back of convenience it may offer,” says Sehgal.<br />

For starters, they're wired headphones, and the thick cable extends down from both cups before becoming one, and terminating in a 6.35mm unbalanced jack plug. You use an adapter (included in the box) to convert it to 3.5mm, plus there's a 4.4mm balanced and an XLR-4 balanced cable in the box for use with an amp. Also, these are open-back headphones, meaning they don't block out sound from around you, or from others hearing what you're listening to.</p><p>The plastic body is lightweight, the padding on the hanger and the earcups is thick, soft, and springy, and there is plenty of flex to ensure they don't grip your head too much.

There's no creaks or groans from the chassis, and they have all the quality you expect from a pair of headphones that cost $500. </p><p>Simply put, I like the overall design. There's an air of "studio cans" about them with the oversized elliptical cups and black metal grill over the drivers, along with the Sennheiser branding running over the top of the hanger. The cups cover your ears completely and I like the handy three dot marking on the left cup, making it easier to identify which way to put them on without looking for the L or R mark. The cable is about 10 feet long, which is handy if you want to plug the headphones into an amp that's not right next to your favorite chair. </p><p>It's hard to say anything negative about <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076HP574T/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=biipf_081320_sennheiser-hd-660-s-review-20&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B076HP574T&amp;linkId=4265f94ea1c56db6b87f783ac88c7aa7a1c56db6b87f783ac88c7aa7" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">the HD 660S'</a> design and comfort.

The mix of lazy synth, steady bass kick, and dreamy vocals in Kavinsky's "Nightcall" suits them perfectly. Move on to Micheal Jackson's "Billie Jean" to hear the headphones' wonderful soundstage, stereo separation, vocal detail, and precise control of the bass and mids. </p><p>The War on Drugs' "Strangest Thing" sounds sublime, and the temptation is always there to turn up the volume to become totally enveloped by the sparkling percussion, the detailed strum of the guitar, and the power of the lead singer's tortured tones. By three minutes, when the main riff kicks in, you won't want to take these headphones off ever again.

It's long struggled to gain traction with similar promises, dating all the way back to its </span><a href="https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ubuntu-edge#/" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400;">failed Edge project</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in 2013. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Before <em>that</em>, there was Motorola. Its&#xa0;</span><a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/motorola-atrix-4g-review-2011-2" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Atrix phone</span></a> worked the same way, but its laptop dock cost <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">$500</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">,&#xa0;</span>the software you used with it was half-baked, and the phone was only "strong" by 2011's standards. Again, few people cared.</p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Still, the dream hasn't died. The latest group to give it a try is Andromium, a startup headed by alumni of Google and Y Combinator. Its new Kickstarter project,&#xa0;</span><a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/andromium/the-superbook-turn-your-smartphone-into-a-laptop-f" target="_blank">the Superbook</a>, essentially revamps the Atrix concept and applies it to various Android phones.</p><h2>How it works</h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At its core, the Superbook is just a laptop shell. It's got an 11.6-inch display with a 1366x768 resolution, a QWERTY keyboard with Android-specific keys, a multi-touch trackpad, and a battery that Andromium rates at eight or so hours of use. (Though that'll move closer to 10 hours if Andromium reaches $500,000 in funding, which currently looks likely.) In a&#xa0;</span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/4ty163/were_andromium_making_the_superbook_a_99_android/" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400;">recent Reddit AMA</span></a>, the company said the device is composed of soft plastic.</p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><div><div style="position:relative;padding-bottom:calc(100% / 1.78)"><iframe src="https://gfycat.com/ifr/PleasedWanLark" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="100%" height="100%" style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div></span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In other words, it's small and basic. It makes up for that by being cheap - it starts at $99 through Kickstarter, and the company expects it to start in the $129 range if and when it hits retailers. (If the campaign hits $1 million, the company plans to offer a slightly more expensive 1080p display option as well.)</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To power it, you activate the Andromium OS app - which is&#xa0;available in&#xa0;beta form&#xa0;</span><a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andromium.os&amp;hl=en" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400;">in the Google Play Store</span></a>&#xa0;- on your phone, then plug it into the shell over microUSB or USB-C. You're not limited to any particular model, but the company says the phone should have at least 1.5GB of RAM, a dual-core chip, and Android 5.0 or higher. (It also has to support the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_On-The-Go" target="_blank">USB-OTG standard</a>, but that shouldn't be an issue for the vast majority of devices.)</p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The idea, as it's always been, is to leverage your phone's power with a laptop's form factor. In Andromium's eyes, having buying a new phone then becomes akin to buying a new laptop.</span></p><h2>Familiar questions remain</h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now, that probably won't hold true for everyone. A cheaper phone won't be as smooth as a pricier one. </span><a href="http://www.techinsider.io/best-chromebook-buying-guide-google-chrome-os-2016-7" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Plenty of Chromebooks</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> are affordable and perfectly capable. And while your phone is a tiny computer, it's not a tiny </span><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">laptop</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;"> - much of the Superbook's success will come down to how well Andromium OS turns Android into competent desktop software.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><div><div style="position:relative;padding-bottom:calc(100% / 1.78)"><iframe src="https://gfycat.com/ifr/SelfassuredTepidAmericancrocodile" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="100%" height="100%" style="position:absolute;top:0;left:0;" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div></span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That said, it does seem to have the basics down - a browser, a file manager, a taskbar, a launcher, some level of multitasking, etc. - and as&#xa0;</span><a href="http://www.techinsider.io/google-play-store-android-apps-chromebook-hands-on-2016-6" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400;">we've seen on Chrome OS</span></a>, Android itself has plenty of apps that translate well enough to desktops. You can watch videos on YouTube, write documents with Microsoft Word, and play a bunch of games.</p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;"></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Andromium says it'll open its SDK so developers can tailor their apps for Andromium, too, though how much support that gets remains to be seen.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In any case, the campaign has raised more than $400,000 in a couple days&#xa0;of funding, way past its initial target. While the usual risk with crowdfunding projects remain, Andromium says its prototypes are finished, and that it hopes to ship the Superbook to backers by February 2017.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Either way, given how strong today's smartphones have become, the time might finally be right to make this nerd fantasy a reality.

<p>The terminal has been recently renovated. It is now stuffed with iPads as far as the eye can see.</p>
<p>I was there on Sunday for a flight to Florida, and I was stunned at how the iPad is integral to the terminal. If you want to order food, you do it through an iPad. If you're waiting for your flight, there's an iPad at every table.</p>
<p>This is good news for Apple on two fronts. The immediate, and obvious benefit, is that it sold hundreds of iPads to <a href="http://otgmanagement.com/about.html">OTG</a>, which handles the services in Delta's terminals. That's a brand new enterprise market for Apple.</p>
<p>The secondary benefit is that thousands of consumers a day will be given a free introduction to the iPad. They get hands on time with an iPad. While it's a popular device, it's still relatively new. So this is a good way for people to get comfortable with the iPad. When, or if they decide to buy a tablet, Apple has an advantage.</p>
<p>There's a risk for Apple, too. Right now, the iPads are new and work well. Over time they could become old and broken down giving users a bad experience.</p>
<p>For now, though, they worked well, and as a traveler I thought they were great. I snapped some pictures to illustrate how it works.</p>
