Google Wallet Revolutionizing Mobile Commerce and the Future of Traveling

What's been happening in Japan for years - is now coming to America via Google Wallet. With the addition of Near Field Communication” (NFC) chips, phones can redefine the way we engage in mobile commerce.

Google Wallet is "an Android app that stores virtual versions of your existing plastic cards on your phone. It has been designed for an open commerce ecosystem and released on Nexus S 4G by Google, available on Sprint, with the plan on expanding to more phones. It will eventually hold all your credit cards and Google offers. At the moment you can pay with Citi® MasterCard® cards and the Google Prepaid Card."

The tentative launch date for the Google Wallet is in summer 2012.

This development will revolutionize the way we travel - what do business travelers think of this? Do you trust the security? Excited for this new technology?
