"There's no doubt that your mobile phone will soon serve as your wallet." Unlike other mobile payment platforms, Tabbedout lets users store credit-card
information directly on their phones -- encrypted and under pass-phrase protection, instead of on Tabbedout's host servers, TechCrunch points out. "That way, consumers are safe from the threat of lost
or stolen credit cards."
The app also lets users search for restaurants in their area that accept Tabbedout, and share their experiences with friends via Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare.
