I think you are correct. Just having a MC, Visa or Amex card alone is
not sufficient. It has to be issued by one of the supported banks which
they list as "including" Bank of America, Capital One Bank, Chase, Citi
and Wells Fargo. So they imply there are others, just not mentioned. In
the press release they say "...coming quickly thereafter including
Barclaycard, Navy Federal Credit Union, PNC Bank, USAA and U.S. Bank" so
I guess that's it for now.

I wonder with the Apple Pay, if it will work with any visa or
MasterCard, or only if you bank with the small list of places they
have? If I understand the announcement today, it would work anywhere
contactless cards do, so most of the Google Wallet places. Supposedly
there's many thousands of places capable of accepting that, yet I
heard it almost makes you perceived as a hacker to use it. I think
Apple agressively promoting it will make people aware at stores that
tapping the phone to pay isn't an attack.

I personally don't believe that the Apple Watch is going to be
that usable for us at the moment, at least it doesn't appear to me
to be so. I'm also not that concerned about it at the moment.
I'm in total agreement with you regarding the credit card
signatures, but that's going to take a little time I'm thinking
before Apple pay really takes hold. Many things that were shown
today are going to be in some sort of experimental stage for quite
some time. That's what makes these Apple events different.
Rather than show you current products, it's like they Travel into
the future, bring stuff back, and put it into everyone's hands. I
guess I have to say that Google is like that as well, but Apple
and Google seem to have very different philosophies.
This being the case, some of the things they do seem a little out
of place at first with present day but usually everybody comes
around and embraces the new things. So, many times when you use
Apple stuff your using leading edge technology that is a little
ruff around the edges and many others aren't using. This is why
they will point at you and call you a fan boy :).
If you have a 5S, then I personally wouldn't worry at all about
getting an iPhone 6.

Hi guys
Well, I guess that will teach some of us in the world to be in a
big hurry, right!
I can see we are going to need a special podcast on the Apple
Watch. Did you guys notice, and I was cheering when I heard that
Siri was in the Apple watch, that Siri never said verbally what
those movies were. My first thought was: oh gee, I sure hope it
has voiceOver in it like everything else so we can read that movie
list Siri came up with. I sure am sorry I wasn't there so I could
ask later if they could please turn on VoiceOver.
The other thing I liked was the Apple Pay because I am real tired
of signing either on these slippery screens or pieces of paper. I
have a terrible signature, and I hate doing it. Only thing is, I
can't get an iPhone 6 for more than a year because my 5 S is less
than a year old. But then they said the Apple Watch would work
with the 5 and 5 S, and that Apple Pay would work on it. I wonder
if that means that you still have to have the 6 even if you get
the Apple Watch? With my luck, that would be true, and I will be
signing on slippery screens and hated pieces of paper for more
than a year at least. Oh, well, the bright side is that will give
Apple time to expand it to more businesses.
Regards,
Gigi

Thanks. I finally got it to work on the Mac. It didn't work on my
iPhone for some reason, but that's ok.
