No Cards, No Cash: No Problem! Get A Google Wallet
First Google was after search engine domination, then world domination, and now? YOUR WALLET! But they’re not going to steal it — trust me, they don’t need the money. They want to replace it.

Why No One Will Be Using Google Wallet Yet (GOOG)
At first blush, Google has pulled off something pretty impressive with Google Wallet.
It's a secure way to handle payments and offers all in one place, like Foursquare meets Groupon meets MasterCard.
But right now, there's a problem. There's only one phone that works with Google Wallet and that's the Nexus S.
And while there are thousands of PayPass terminals that take those "tap" payments, they don't do much good if you don't have a phone or card packing a NFC chip.
It all comes down to the hardware. If manufacturers don't make phones with NFC chips, Google Wallet simply won't take off. And that's not even including adoption from non-Google platforms like iPhone, Windows Phone, and BlackBerry. Good luck getting them on board.
That's where the big problem for Google Wallet comes in. It's not that the technology isn't intuitive, it's getting carriers and phone manufacturers to get on board too.
Google touted several big-name partners for Google Wallet at its event in New York today, but those barely scratch the surface. It'll take more than Sprint -- the nation's third largest carrier -- to really move the needle and convince manufacturers to adopt NFC in new phones.
And the other big three carriers already have a totally different mobile payments system called Isis. What are the chances they'd give that up in favor of Google Wallet?
That being said, Google is taking the right approach and rolling Google Wallet out slowly. It's being tested in New York and San Francisco first, then rolling out to other cities after that.
It's going to be an uphill battle for Google to get everyone else to adopt its system.

Comment on Microsoft Opened Its Wallet to Build WP7 App Success by Jesse
Silly comments from people who think they can tell the future. It seems pretty clear that Microsoft always wins in the end . They did with windows total domination 90%. And they will again with wp7 . That's not a prediction , it's based on past success . All those things you state that are wrong are meaningless nonsense that either will go away in the next couple months duh, ever hear of a progression of a platform. Or they don't matter to the people who will buy them . People want facebook twitter , music and IE that's it.
