Europeans and Asians will be familiar with spending money via their cellphones, but receiving money? I'm not sure I see the use case for that. Security in this context worries me (especially considering the lack of security on phones in general - consider some recent highly public hackings like Paris Hilton)

Their answer to security is that your phone receives a call-back where you have to confirm payment with your PIN.

No -- and never will at this rate. :) My kid has a PS2 anyhow, which is far better for his age, since the XBox doesn't have much for the younger scene.
