I do all that, and pay for almost everything with it, only exceptions
are the fresh fruit and veg place that will only take cash for <$10,
the farmers market, and the garage sales. It is possible to pay to any
mobile but paying for stuff is usually a pretty hectic business at the
garage sales so not worth the hassle of convincing the seller to
accept payment to their mobile when they haven't done it before.

I also find it very handy to have it tell me stuff like the time and
the outside temp etc by just telling it to do that with a voice
command, particularly when in bed, but also during the day.

I must get off my arse and get a lock for the house that works
with the phone and I'd love to have the car work that way too.
