The moment many Google Wallet users have been waiting for has finally arrived. Users now have the ability to add any debit or credit card to their Google Wallet account thanks to today’s update. Google has moved the app to the cloud to provide a more secure method of storing your card information. Now, instead of using the secure storage area on your phone, Google stores your payment cards on highly secure Google servers.

Nexus 7 owners are anxiously awaiting accessories, and up until today, have only been treated to a few leaked products. If the POGO dock and premium case were’t enough to get you salivating, you’re bound to start foaming at the mouth over the newly exposed rotating stand case, or built-in Bluetooth keyboard case.

I was a bit skeptical when the Nexus Q sold out in less than 24 hours, and rightfully so it would appear. Today, Google began sending out emails to Nexus Q customers (a short list btw) who had pre-ordered the device to inform them that they were postponing the consumer launch to work on making it even better. In other words, “we realized no one wants a $300 doorstop.”

It appears the Gmail video chat and its peer-to-peer technology has run its course. It served many of us well, but with the introduction of the more modern and featured packed Google+ Hangouts, it’s time to move forward. Google today announced they would be upgrading Gmail video chat to utilize the power of Google’s network and deliver higher reliability and enhanced quality with the new Hangouts system.

If you’ve had no luck finding the 16GB Nexus 7 at a local retailer, you’re luck is about to change. The 16GB Nexus 7 is back “in stock” on Google Play and this time we’re guessing Google is prepared to meet demand. I’d personally go with the 16GB model (and did) as my experience with the 8GB version of the Galaxy Tab 2 didn’t bode too well. The 16GB version will cost you an additional $49, but at $249 for a quad-core, Jelly Bean toting tablet, you can’t go wrong.
