I wanted to create you one little bit of observation just to thank you yet again about the pleasant strategies you have featured in this case. It has been quite wonderfully generous of you in giving unhampered all a lot of people could possibly have sold as an e-book to help with making some bucks for their own end, specifically given that you could have done it if you ever desired. Those ideas as well served as the great way to be aware that someone else have the identical dreams the same as my own to figure out lots more in respect of this condition. I know there are many more enjoyable times up front for individuals who looked over your site.

I am glad for writing to let you know of the beneficial discovery our child found visiting your blog. She picked up a good number of details, with the inclusion of what it’s like to have a great coaching character to let men and women completely have an understanding of some advanced issues. You actually did more than people’s desires. Thanks for delivering such invaluable, healthy, explanatory and even cool tips about that topic to Ethel.

My wife and i ended up being so more than happy Peter could round up his studies because of the precious recommendations he discovered from your own web pages. It is now and again perplexing to just always be freely giving tactics other folks might have been selling. And we also know we have the writer to appreciate for this. The main explanations you have made, the simple site menu, the friendships you aid to create – it is most powerful, and it’s really leading our son and our family understand that subject is enjoyable, which is certainly extremely fundamental. Thanks for the whole thing!

Now all they need is a way for people to officially use their phones as a drivers license and library cards and any other store cards and then I won’t have to carry a wallet anymore.

I guess I don’t understand Google’s strategy of releasing this when Citi MasterCard’s already have PayPass…. if the card didn’t have PayPass or Visa’s Blink, I can see giving it that functionality with your phone as the buffer… otherwise, why bother?

I bet Google can run some mean anti-fraud algorithms though.

I do hope you’re right, but there are two problems with this: (i) you are making a vast over-statement of the level of competition. Combined, AT&T and Verizon control 80% of the mobile market, and between the two, VZW is the only network that can maintain a call connection for it’s full length without dropping it. (ii) A Nexus branded device is special because it’s almost completely under Google’s control (direct updates, latest hardware to show off the OS capabilities) and Verizon doesn’t feel they need to give up that kind of control because they have far more reliable network than anyone else, hence, this will be more like the original Droid than a Nexus device and it gives Verizon enough wiggle room to pull their usual crap.

That said, I have my fingers crossed with an original Droid by my side.

There’s no way a Nexus device won’t have NFC. Verizon has pull, but so does Google. And basically, Verizon can’t stop it, because as greedy as they like to be, they still need to be competitive. Since they are the only provider to not have an NFC phone, and the technology is growing very quickly, they need one to stay competitive. Since most big cities have good network coverage on any network, that is not enough for Verizon anymore.

Just a rumor… maybe. No news right now. However, you can get one from Citi for any card that is compatible with Google Wallet. They are big and ugly, but I hacked mine and stuck it under the battery cover. Works like a charm in the two locations in my entire city that accept PayPass.

I hope they come up with some system so that phones w/o NFC can also take advantage of this…. would like to use this on my LG Rev

Been dreaming of this day, but as usual, Verizon is greedy and wants to take a piece of the action with their new bloatware payment app: Isis. Seriously, why would anyone allow VZW to take a transaction fee when Google Wallet is free?

The Prime can’t come soon enough and it will be a pleasant surprise if VZW allows it to come with NFC, but I would expect them to pack their bloatware onto any NFC capable phone… in the meantime, don’t expect any NFC capable devices.

And for the tin-hat wearers, relax. A physical wallet is way easier to steal and Google will analyze your spending which will help you budget your money and help them target ads to you. Result, now you can afford a titanium-hat lined hat!
