Get a Good Look at the PHYSICAL Google Wallet Card. Releasing Soon

Have you felt left out of the whole NFC technology, because your phone did not come equipped with it? You probably have friends, like I do, that have it on their phones and walk to the cashier, and do a nice little tap  for instant purchasing power. Well Google is planning on helping you out with that. A PHYSICAL Google Wallet card is going to be set for release, as well as added features coming to the Google Wallet app.

So I was thinking this is just another credit card I would have to carry in my wallet. Not necessarily. You can always leave all your cards at home now, and just use the Google Wallet Card for all your purchasing needs. It works with the app, so whatever card you have selected within the app, the card will mimic it and the charges will be put on that card. The physical card can also be purchased through the app itself, and delivered right to your doorstep. Not too shabby Google. We were hearing that changes were coming to Google Wallet, and I am sure no one really saw this coming.

So what is happening to the actual Google Wallet? One big feature is the ability to deposit and withdraw money from a “Wallet Balance”. Not only that, they are making it easier to transfer money between people and have added transit cards.

So pretty much if you do not have a phone with NFC permissions, this will be super useful. You can still download the Google Wallet app and use it to pick which of your credit cards you want to use. People with Window’s phones, and iPhones will be able to jump on the Google Wallet bandwagon, so Google is reaching out to all mobile platforms. Let us know what you guys think.
