    Yikes!
    Over at Mobilesyrup they've posted a Rogers Wireless bill that would easily make me run for another country!

    The owner of this bill, "TheOneBabooshka" is saying Rogers acknowledges that it's a billing error on their end but we'll see how this plays out.

    Google Commerce is now stating that Google Wallet, it's NFC service, is now safe for consumer use.

    Yesterday afternoon, we restored the ability to issue new prepaid cards to the Wallet. In addition, we issued a fix that prevents an existing prepaid card from being re-provisioned to another user. While we’re not aware of any abuse of prepaid cards or the Wallet PIN resulting from these recent reports, we took this step as a precaution to ensure the security of our Wallet customers. If you are unable to access your previous prepaid card balance for any reason, please contact our toll-free support for assistance.

    Does this restore your confidence in Google Wallet?
    Did you have any to begin with, or are you like myself and going to let the NFC battle play out until there seems to be a clear path to the technology?

    Sound off below! ...
