Mophie Introduces FeliCa Credit Card Payment System In Japan

In December 2009 we reported that Mophie was releasing a credit card attachment for iPhone and iPod Touch systems, now that system has a partnering technology “FeliCa” and an official release…in Japan.

The Japan release is a collaboration between Mophie and Flight System Consulting and Focal Point Computer, using Sony’s FeliCa Technology.

Given the technologies release proximity to the official announcement in December we’re assuming this is the same gadget announced by Mophie in December, however no official pictures or information outside of technologies being used have been released at this time.

According to SlashGear:

The reader uses contactless IC card technology for processing payments on a mobile terminal. Considering the card reader we saw in December had a slot for swiping cards and this one has FeliCa technology built-in it may be a new animal altogether.

If it’s a new technology, Mophie sure is keeping it under tight wraps, even after a release announcement.
