what if my phone runs out of batteries....

[MrAviiiii]

So basically if you use this and you lose your phone, you're now even more fucked

[teknown]

@scrubtubb In the future the ATM will have a charger ^^

[aziliks]

@MrAviiiii nope. you can manage all credit cards on web

[chedd88]

@MrAviiiii that's what remote wipe is for.

[ThechosenDemon]

Who the hell uses mastercard? No visa?

[JaffaCaik]

@MrAviiiii Notice he said you use a pin to enter the app?

[starwarsvideos]

@DrPepsi500 I am unsure of what you just tried to say, lol, but no it would not work with the iPhone because it does not contain NFC capabilities.

[DrPepsi500]

@starwarsvideos Is the a phone case though, like they have for iphone? That can store your other cards?

[starwarsvideos]

@DrPepsi500 Any phone with NFC capabilities (which are few and far between, for now).

As of now, carrying around a digital version of your driver's license probably wouldn't be accepted by the people who would ask for it, like bartenders (SUPER easy photoshop job, anyone?), policemen, etc...

[thelostlibertine]

totes gonna hang round underneath those two.. retro phone, answering machine and a loaded wallet. sold!

[BrendanChaplain]

The wallet continues to be useful however because it holds your license, paper money, gift cards, etc.

[DrPepsi500]

What phones is this compatible with? and is there a case for it that can hold my driver's license so that way i dont need to carry around a wallet?

[aquelarre832]

y en  argentina para cuando......???

[henry0james0ball]

i am getting the Nexus when my contract runs out in April. any chance Google wallet will come to the UK by then ?

[1nsertTitleHere]

@Hhunter12 its also on the Nexus S from Sprint

[RadoslawBunczuk]

i want to eat google burger

[FilloK83]

@scrubtubb use it less dude, real life is not in your phone :-D

[COOLAMODH]

@scrubtubb give them feedback, they will add feature of detecting your card while its off... :D

[mrdgall]

Your right! It is safer! With a normal wallet a thief can simply take the money! Whereas if you lose your Google Wallet™ a thief first needs to spend 15 minutes brute-forcing it before getting your life savings!

[0326hkim]

I wouldn't jump into it at this time. I would wait for bug fixes and any other fixes that may come up.

[luigi1fan1]

@TheNaderfun Watch the end of the video... derp...

[Trustmerully]

Its been exposed that this app is not secured on a number of different phones. The tech is Just too new to be safe. Give it a couple more years.

[JusticeConstantine]

Yeah but do the Mexican restaurants I go to in Southern California accept Google Wallet?-Justice Constantine

[MixPix]

Come to Canada!

Google Wallet has a pin code. So no different then them having your card, but they can't make purchases over $50. So it is safer than losing your wallet.

[androidulous]

So now if a robber steals my phone, they have my wallet too.

[tathagatavision]

the new player needs some improvements.
