I'll quit having a mobile phone if it comes with one of these. Sure its a great feature, but not "all" phones should/will have them. RFID is a huge privacy concern and I'm sure there are controls, but I still would not be comfortable having this technology without a practical use (for myself). Just before I get labled "some old guy" - I'm not, a mid-20 something professional type who just doesnt appreciate being spied on.
Another comment as to the credit card fraud stuff listed here. Again think of the logistics and privacy issues being created. If people are willing to give up everything to prevent a few unauthorized charges (which in my nearly 10 years of using credit cards have never had EXCEPT when physically using the card at a big box retailer) then the world is in sadder shape and more sheeple than I thought.
