Google Wallet just officially took off, which is an application that works around NFC (near field communication).  So basically it allows you to store your credit/debit cards onto your Google Wallet application, enabling you to make wireless payments in store by swiping your handheld.  It looks like Google has support for the Nexus S, but we’d love to see it get extended to the BlackBerry as well.

But I wouldn’t get my hopes up.  We still don’t have a Google Plus app, and there doesn’t seem to be a plan for it anytime in the near future.  I guess we really want NFC apps in general but Google Wallet would be an excellent start if you ask me.
