It's a credit card-sized device that holds other credit cards, allowing you to swap from card to card and even store gift cards inside its ultra thin innards.
The company planned a pre-order campaign that would top out at $50,000. They blew past that goal in forty minutes today
Interesting.

    Damn that is cool. At first I thought it was a device that holds the physical cards and shuffles them around depending on which card is chosen. That wouldn't be cool. But it turns out this thing actually "clones" the data from the magnetic strip in each card.

    I wonder if card issuers are cool with this. It seems like there might be some opposition, maybe with retailers too.
