Rumors have been floating around Wall Street about a new Apple feature that will allow you to use your iTunes account to pay for online purchases, battling with eBay's PayPal and possibly Facebook's rumored "Pay With Facebook" feature that's allegedly in the works.
If Apple does begin allowing payments with iTunes, we're hoping they include airline miles for purchases. We'd have enough to go to around the world a few times over.
The thinking is that since there are so many iPhone users that already have access to their iTunes account, it would be easy to pay for things with the iPhone. On the other hand, why would Apple delve into being a financial middle-man when bank could just create an iPhone app.
Of course if it does happen, we'll see you all in Hawaii.

I would like purchasing with my iTunes account because then I don 't have to give out my credit card to companies who have a Mac app that i want/need. Bodega, a Mac app store, would be great to have iTunes purchasing.
