Google Wallet is Officially Here (Even If Most of You Can’t Take Advantage)
Rumors started over the weekend suggesting Google would launch Google Wallet, their mobile NFC-based payments system, today. Well, it’s Monday and those who like the snoop around the coffee shops in the morning have spotted logos for the service on vendors’ PoS system.
A Peets Coffee & Tee shop in San Francisco was equipped with the system, one GigaOM writer noticed. Google hasn’t yet made any formal announcement but you know we’ll be bringing you the latest coverage on that. And yes, the Nexus S is still the only NFC-equipped Android phone in America. If you don’t have that one, Google wallet won’t concern you for the time being.
