Google Wallet and Library E-Commerce

Later this year, Smart phones are predicted to overtake feature phones as the predominate type of cellular phone in use.  This fact isn't lost on anyone, espcially Google, whose Android operating system continues to grab market share from the iPhone and Blackberry platforms.

Just today, Google announced its newest service:  Google Wallet (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZGoXvzW4WU)

With Google Wallet, customers can make automatic purchases with their phones, and take advantage of online marketing offers, similar to Groupon and Living Social.

It's going to be a while before Google Wallet is in full use everywhere, but imagine what this might do for libraries and e-commerce!  If it's as easy as it looks, patrons might be easily paying fines with their phones, not their dimes.
