I often go around without cash today… this wasn’t always possible. Credit cards took a while to become mainstream, so will Google Wallet.

Running out of battery is a security risk, even today. You could be categorized as irresponsible for letting that happen. Plus, it’s easily fixable with a software patch (think reserve battery % setting).

The phone actually launches the app for you, and you can select a default card… cutting the amount of steps to almost the same as a plastic card.

Currently, I have 8 items in my pockets… with Google wallet, that could be reduced to 2. Thats something I would actively fight for.
