Google Wallet Goes Live, But You Probably Won’t Be Able to Use It Yet. As rumored, Google just announced that it is officially launching its cell phone-based mobile payment solution Google Wallet today.
After introducing the service in May and launching a limited trial at the time, Google today launched it nationwide, in partnership with Citi, MasterCard, Sprint and First Data. For now, however, you won’t be able to just swipe your phone past one of the many compatible PayPass payment terminals unless you use Google’s flagship Nexus S phone on Sprint’s network. Given these limitations, today’s “launch” is really more of an expanded field trial than anything else.
