Today in our New York City office, along with Citi, MasterCard, First Data and Sprint, we gave a demo of Google Wallet, an app that will make your phone your wallet. You’ll be able to tap, pay and save using your phone and near field communication (NFC). We’re field testing Google Wallet now and plan to release it soon.

With Google Wallet, we’re building an open commerce ecosystem, and we’re planning to develop APIs that will enable integration with numerous partners. In the beginning, Google Wallet will be compatible with Nexus S 4G by Google, available on Sprint. Over time, we plan on expanding support to more phones.

Basically all your credit card info would be in the app and then it's automatically charged (or deducted) from your account.
Only problem is I don't think the EVO is NFC compatible so I doubt we'll get this on the EVO 4G.

Special Stickers Will Bring Google Wallet To Android Phones That Lack NFC

This would be a big competitor for PayPal once Google gets it going. All these companies sue each other once they start getting competition. SMH
