By the way, the companies you mention all serve different needs in the payments space. Vivotech is providing soft wallets and NFC technology for cellphone - enabling a phone to replace plastic basically. Obopay is nothing more than a prepaid card that can be accessed via a mobile phone (pretty simple technology). PaymentOne - allows companies to converge their bills/fees with an existing phone bill.
They have no relation what so ever.
Redpoint Ventures blew millions on failed Amp'd mobile. Obopay is on the same track.
