I haven't tried myself (I have PayWave, and this is now on my todo list for tomorrow), but I imagine that they maybe hadn't tested it on Paywave when they wrote the title?

The standard(s) seem pretty pervasive, and I've often had PayWave work where there is only a PayPass sign...

On your last question - I'm not familiar with Opal at all. Any links/information?




Opal is Sydney's new contactless smartcard ticketing system, using MiFare DESFire EV1, based on Londons Oyster.


Ah, righto. I doubt it then, but can't say for sure. I'd imagine that PCI cards will have a different set of requirements to adhere to, for starters.

If it did work, however, it'd be reaaaal nice to try on Queensland's Go card ;-)
