Google Wallet Lets You Pay With Your Smartphone

Credit cards could be a thing of the past

Thanks to the Google’s latest venture, you’ll never have to worry about forgetting your wallet again. Today, Google announced that it has partnered with Citi, MasterCard, First Data, and Sprint to launch Google Wallet, an app that uses near field communication to allow users to pay for purchases with a wave (or tap) of their smartphone.

At first, Google Wallet will only be compatible with Sprint’s Nexus 4G S phone, but Google plans to expand to support other devices.
