Google has just launched its Google Play gift cards in Canada, as it continues to expand its worldwide availability. Canada will have gift cards in $15, $25 and $50 (CAD) denominations with the Play Store account limit remaining at $2000.

Google is rolling out an update for its official Wallet app on Google Play. This upgrade brings several improvements to the user interface, support for any credit/debit card, as well as support for a shedload of new devices – Wallet will now run on any Android device running 2.3 or higher. However, at this precise moment in time, Wallet will still continue to remain a Google exclusive for U.S. residents.

Google sent out an e-mail to all its Wallet customers last night, providing them with six different promotions that the team at Mountain View is currently running in conjunction with its partners.
