Google to offer mobile wallets
Google to offer mobile wallets
GOOGLE will today take the wraps off a mobile-payment system that lets consumers pay with phones instead of cards at checkout points, hoping to beat Visa and others to the draw, a source said.
The Internet search and advertising leader will work with MasterCard, the world's second-largest credit- and debit- card-processing network, to launch the system, the source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Tuesday.
Google teamed up with MasterCard and Citigroup to develop the system, the Wall Street Journal reported in March.
It has signed up retail partners Macy's, American Eagle Outfitters and Subway, though it is unclear if the project will be launched nationwide or just in New York initially, the Journal cited sources as saying on Tuesday.
Google has invited reporters to attend a "partner event" today in New York to demonstrate what it called its "latest innovations".
It plans to unveil the mobile- payment system, which will run on the Android operating system and be available on phones from Sprint Nextel Corp, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday.
A source familiar with the matter confirmed that Google would launch the system. Citigroup did not respond to requests for comment. Google, Sprint and MasterCard declined comment.

Coming your way by 2012: 4G phones
Coming your way by 2012: 4G phones
SINGAPOREANS can enjoy a faster and smoother online experience on fourth-generation mobile networks at the end of the year at the earliest.
But don't be surprised if there are no cellphones commercially available that can run on these 4G networks yet.
Fourth-generation networks, specifically the 4G-branded technology called Long Term Evolution (LTE), are said to offer mobile-broadband speeds several times faster than those of 3G.
SingTel confirmed yesterday that it will offer subscription services on its LTE network by year's end, but believes dongles gadgets that allow notebooks to go online using mobile networks are more likely to be available first.
However, Ms Chan Yim Leng, the telco's vice-president for consumer products, said that, if smartphones that can support 4G are available then, they will be launched. "It is dependent on device manufacturers," she said on the sidelines of the Unwired 2011 conference.
She highlighted current compatibility issues between many LTE phones and Singapore's upcoming networks, thus limiting the number of phones to be sold here.
StarHub will deploy its LTE network "later this year". M1 has begun doing so this month and is expecting to complete it by the first quarter of next year.
Both telcos could not confirm when commercial services would be available. Mr Ivan Lim, M1's deputy director for corporate communications and investor relations, said that, "subject to the availability of devices, we may launch earlier in selected areas".

GSS starts tomorrow
Brisk sales even before GSS starts tomorrow
THE annual Great Singapore Sale (GSS) starts tomorrow but, for some retailers, the shopping frenzy began at least two weeks ago.
Businesses eager to step up their revenue during the two- month-long shopping season have been rolling out early discounts. Retailers say they are riding on the buoyant spending mood and shoppers' pent-up desire to splurge.
The latest figures from the Department of Statistics show a 7 per cent jump in retail sales, excluding that of motor vehicles, in March over the same month a year ago.
Ms Eleanor Chin, head of brand and values at The Body Shop Singapore, said: "By starting our sale early on May 16, we can capture sales from consumers who are ready to spend but are holding back...until the sale officially starts."
Eyewear chain Capitol Optical's GSS promotion was launched on May 14, to drum up excitement among shoppers. The chain's general manager, Mr Stanley Chan, said: "In the optical industry, unlike the fashion industry, consumers do not rush down to the shops to grab the best bargains."
Retailers interviewed said they are not worried that the early promotions will cause the sale to lose steam quickly, as new offerings will be rolled out throughout the sale period to sustain shoppers' interest.
They added that they expect a jump in spending over last year's GSS, when retail sales raked in $5.3 billion, as the economy is improving and tourist arrivals remain robust.

S'poreans sell camera-free iPhone 4 sets
S'poreans sell camera-free iPhone 4 sets
APPLE iPhone 4 users in sensitive areas of work, or those in the military where camera phones are prohibited, now have the option of getting the smartphone's inbuilt camera removed or covered.
Three Singaporeans decided to tap into this market, launching a website last month to tout their services. Would-be buyers can get a DIY iPhone 4 back-cover replacement kit which conceals the inbuilt phone camera for $170, or a pre-packaged iPhone 4, which comes new without a camera for about $1,100.
One of the three founders of the business, who gave his name only as Kelvin, said that the idea to remove the popular smartphone model's camera was broached when the trio discussed which was the best non-camera mobile phone in the market.
The 22-year-old is a partner in a local media company, while the other two work in the defence industry. They have sold just over 100 sets to both local and overseas buyers, with about 20 per cent of their clientele hailing from countries such as the United States and India.
Kelvin said that profit is "minimal", with most of it going towards offsetting the cost of materials used.
The replacement parts are ordered from two factories in Shenzhen, China, which hold "official manufacturing contracts with Apple", said Kelvin.
Netizens have raised doubts on online forums over whether the modified phones are permitted into restricted areas, such as military camps.
The Ministry of Defence said that it does not allow any unauthorised image-capturing devices, such as video cameras, cameras or phones with cameras, to be taken into Singapore Armed Forces camps and training areas, for security reasons.
However, servicemen who have operational requirements may be authorised to carry smartphones with the cameras disabled.
