Japan Trials ATM for Mobile Phones
Oki Electric and NTT Communications announced that they have developed a new automated teller machine (ATM) that can exchange data with infrared port-equipped mobile devices including cellphones.

The system was deployed at Ogaki Kyoritsu Bank in Gifu prefecture on April 21. Press Release [in Japanese] Here.
