Google Wallet: New payment method in stores

Google does not want to know to stop and enjoy the fruits of that harvest, the California-based company also falls in the payment market with its new patented system named Google Wallet, according to the manufacturer capable of revolutionizing the concept of mobile payment. We explain in detail this new system and the consequences that could result from now on in the lives of us all, considering it has the potential to become an integral part of our lifestyle or it will be just a fad like other experiments of this kind attempted by other manufacturers.

Google Wallet as easy to understand, is a mobile payment method that relies on smartphones, it will be possible to manage their money directly from the phone and through them to pay in shops that accept this type of payment, all in real time. The technology behind this new system is called NFC (Near Field Communication), which provides simply passing through a special sensor, vaguely similar to that used in the crates at the supermarket, to transfer their data to the dealer and the successful completion of the transaction.

Obviously do not expect to pay in small shops with this method, even if possible, but obviously as time goes on all the big chain stores could embrace this change and allow the payment. One of the advantages of this system is obviously security, in fact, not having to bring the credit card associated with the application, you limit the risk of cloning, since the data entered from your smartphone and retraces from possible criminals who sometimes introduce special chip and spies to clone numbers and card codes above, it logically impossible by this method because the paper will remain in the drawer at home.

In the U.S., Google has already made arrangements with several store chains that have embraced the project, allowing payments to be made already in these days through Google Wallet, the evidence of 9 will be the ease of use and especially in the amount of users that use. Are not yet known the cost of this application and the transaction tax levied by Google, for more details in this sense we have to wait a few days before we have official information from reliable sources.

For the moment the new payment method will only be available for Samsung Nexus S 4G, but it should quickly be adapted to all other models with Android operating system, thus causing an expansion like wildfire among the fanatics of hi- tec. Of course, Google Wallet is not limited to one payment, as shown in the official site there will be other sections, including one dedicated to the offerings of affiliated stores, which will be given the geographical coordinates and details on the object ie, discount, prices and available pieces to what has been possible to understand at the time.

There are also other applications related to the sale always a bonus and other useful applications for the detection of low-cost products that meet our needs, bringing the shopping experience to a very high level of ease. A long-awaited innovation, studied and attempted by several manufacturers but have not gotten a big following, we'll see if Google will be a step forward in this area, continuing to impress after the critical success of the new Chromebook, accepted with some success in the early critical reviews, and which in early June it will be found the success.

We are now curious to know how else the market will dive into California home, after smartphones, tablet notebook pce will surely expand its horizons to become a multi-style Microsoft.
