Google Wallet : A High End Product from Google

Google.Inc posted an awesome video for Google Wallet featuring George Costanza. Google had sent statements to partners that it would be released Sept. 19 , the launch day. Which was considered the accurate date for public use. 

Who Can Use Google Wallet ?

Back in May when Google Wallet & offers were unveiled, Google stated that field trails for Wallet would begin immediately during this summer. While this will be the official launch, the product itself will likely still be quite limited. The only officially compatible phone is the Nexus S 4G,

Android Increases the market share

Android is forecast to increase its world wide share of media tablet from 20% in 2011 to 39% in 2015.

On a study conducted by Marketing Company, the numbers confirm that Android continues to increase its share at a staggering rate, while Samsung maintains its position as the US largest cell phone manufacturer.

With the iPhone missing on its usual July refresh cycle, Android didn't even need the Galaxy S II help in the US to gain the huge 5.4 percent points in the past three months alone. The share of the Google OS now sits at 41.8%, which is nearly 15 percent points more than that of the second most popular platform.
That second most popular platform would, of course, be iOS, which claimed a market share of 27.0%. That's a 1 percent point increase over the past three months, despite the fact that no new handset entered the Apple OS ranks - impressive indeed.
The other smartphone platforms on the US market are still unable to match the growth rates of the two behemoths. The once leading BlackBerry OS has lost 4 whole percent points in the past three months alone and now holds just 21.7% of 82.2 million smartphones in the US - putting it at a distant third place.
WP7 is also still unable to make a difference with Microsoft's share slipping a percent point to a market share of 5.7%. Symbian is not doing particularly well either (even by its own low standards in the US) and now powers less than one in twenty-five American smartphones.
