Did I skim it too quickly or do they never mention the name of the payment app they are developing?

That's what I like to see. Do you guys think it will be worth while for retailers/services to use? Since Apple is all the mainstream shit - who doesn't another overpriced ,restricted idevice ? - will they actually use it?
If this takes off I'm going to assume copy-cat Apple will try to integrate something like this with Apple Pay. Any Thoughts?
