These probably wont come to the UK as we have chip & pin which the americans didn't want. Chip & pin is much safer.

Your probably right, when we went last April to visit family they didn't have chip & pin. Everyone was still signing on the screens.

EDIT:

The amreicans have chip & sign at the moment, not chip & pin.

As of June 17, 2011, Chase began offering the JP Morgan Select Visa credit card, which also offers a Chip & Signature, but not Chip & PIN capability, to US cardholders. No prior relationship with JP Morgan is required to sign up for the new card, but the absence of a PIN associated with the Chip may make these cards less useful as most unattended kiosks will not accept them. Chase is telling customers that when used in unattended kiosks or fuel stations, the chip in the card is recognized, then the terminal will report "checking PIN", and the transaction will be approved without having entered a PIN. This transaction process is similar to Chase's existing "Blink" approval process.
