The Google Wallet mobile payment app is now available on the HTC One, as well as the Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung Galaxy Note 2, all on Sprint.
"It's been an exciting day for Google Wallet @ I/O. We've just announced new features that let you easily send money (goo.gl/vTTTE) and buy online (goo.gl/yq0Wy). We're also pleased to announce that you can buy in stores (goo.gl/r4kWO) with even more phones: Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung Galaxy Note II and HTC One on Sprint, and Samsung Galaxy Note II on US Cellular," said a post on Google+.
Google Wallet stores credit and debit card information for use on-the-go. It makes use of NFC tech to allow payments at participating retailers with a tap of the phone. While the app has become more ubiquitous lately, Google is still pushing to expand its reach on more handsets, carriers and platforms, as well as more retailers, in the hopes of making it another commonly accepted form of payment, much like credit card companies had to do in the 1950s and '60s.
