Just saw this article this morning and hadn't heard any mention of it on FT. It looks like a worthy future contender to Plastc when it's released here...at least for those of us that are holding out longer on the all-in-one cards.

I haven't been following Plastc much lately, so I'm curious to see what those of you who know more about Plastc think - barring that the Curve card is obviously still in development and hasn't hit US or Android yet.
