Google Wallet Now Lets You SingleTap That App

googlewalletshotGoogle Wallet continues on its slow (but exciting) march toward letting you pay for things simply by tapping your phone against a special, NFC-enabledcredit card reader. Today, in a post on Google's Official Blog, the wallet team announced that it's rolling out support for SingleTap a new feature that lets you both pay and redeem coupons at a given retailer, without having to clip (or print out) and paper coupons. Instead, the phone 'remembers' the Offers you've saved or purchased, and redeems them automatically.The feature was first demoed back when Wallet was unveiled in May, but when the service launched in beta last month you could only use it for payments, not offers.Of course, Google Wallet is still only available to consumers that have the Sprint Nexus S 4G (not even the T-Mobile or AT&T variants of the Nexus S work). But that will hopefully change soon I won't be surprised if we see some announcements around this at the Android event in Hong Kong this week.
