Meh. I'll wait and see all of you use the omny and be the guinea pigs in this experiment.
right. This is another reason why I’m not gun-ho in it

Yesterday I saw the OMNY for the first time at the 34th Street/Penn Station entering the Uptown E train. I didn't see anyone using it!

C'mon man, in Japan and China you can use your smartphone. In NJ Transit you can also use your smart phone at the turnstile at certain stations.

Yeah, I concur. This whole WiFi remote business has gotten pretty ridiculous. More batteries, gadgets to fill drawers. Things you forget what they were for, etc... I hate the crap out of it.

I saw a SIGN yesterday (Xmas Day) indicating the Times Square station is so equipped. But since I was transferring from the Q-train to the 1-train, I never saw the turnstile.

They are a coming! After looking forward to them but then realizing we're talking about the MTA...my enthusiasm has since been tempered. I'll sit and watch all of you use them.

Not me, unless they issue me a durable, hard plastic discounted card that I can refill...just like PATH. I am not buying a Smart Phone just to use the subway.
