Well this was certainly music to my ears (errr eyes?)..
What do you hard core apple freaks (yes you Malcolm) think of this? (oh, and please please please click on some ads! —>

So I was very excited to get the new Google Galaxy Nexus with inbuilt NFC. First step was to root it and install the Google Wallet apk (check out xda-developers). You then need to install Market enabler (from the market) to trick your Gnex into thinking it is on the T-Mobile network… All good. Google Wallet signs in and Google gives you a free $10 pre-paid MasterCard to get you started. So it was off to my local 7-Eleven to try it out. Fail. The paypass terminal asked for a PIN… What PIN??! So after a bit of fluffing around, I got it to work.. A few things you need to do.
1. Make sure your phone is on and your wallet is unlocked.
2. Hold your phone against the terminal with the screen on (Wallet does not need to be open, just unlocked).
3. When prompted for a PIN, just hit OK… and the payment is approved!
Now the challenge is how to top up the pre-paid card! There are various ways around the net that suggest pre-paid gift cards, but until Google release official support for Wallet in Australia, this is your only option…
Still cool though!
