Samsung Inroduce Wallet To Compete With Apple Passbook
During its Developer Day at the Mobile World Congress, Samsung has unveiled its Wallet app for Android.
Similar to Apple’s Passbook, Samsung’s Wallet will let users keep all their coupons, various tickets and membership cards in one place.
Like Apple’s Passbook, Samsung Wallet is able to deliver time and location based push notifications, notifying you when you are near a store or location that you can use a Wallet card. Always connected, membership cards and boarding passes can be updated in real-time.
For developers, the Samsung Wallet API is still in beta, but Samsung is allowing early sign-ups ahead of a March 7 launch. Applications are manually approved, but we imagine this will change when the service becomes more widely available.
