While the Google Wallet situation between Google and Verizon seemed to delay the launch of the device back in December, it seemed to have died down after the official launch. But now it looks like it may be the reason why there’s a huge change of events happening over at Google’s developer support… Read more
Samsung Galaxy Nexus users in the US have pretty much been out of luck if they wanted to use Google Wallet, as all the major carriers excluding Sprint have blocked the app. There have been hacks to get the app up and running, but still no official support.
