Google Wallet gets official launch

19.09.2011

Google officially launched its Google Wallet application late Monday

Google said it will allow users to add any bank card to a Google Prepaid Card and they will receive $10 to try the service. The card is virtual, not a physical card, and while Google said it is available, there appeared to be no place to create the prepaid card as of late Monday.
