BlackBerry Wallet App: Leave your credit card at home.


Today's discovery on Blackberry App World is the really cool BlackBerry Wallet App.

Many of the BlackBerrys being sold today are equipped with the NFC tags that is attached to the back battery case. What it does is it enables the user to wirelessly tap Point-of-Sale (POS) terminals with your phone, like you would with PayPass using your credit card, to purchase items in half the time! (If you've never heard of NFC tags, youtube it. There is a lot of potential to this technology that haven't yet been discovered by many.)


The real neat thing about this app is that there is a loyalty card and gift card option! It'll be very useful once merchants accept these cards via PayPass. From my knowledge, you still have to swipe these cards. Nonetheless, the credit card option should do for now.


As you can see the fields for entering your card information is quite intensive, and supports the major networks of credit facilities. Rest assured though, Blackberry claims it's safe. Also you are required to set a password before you can use the app for additional security.

If you own a BlackBerry with a NFC tag on your battery cover, why not try it out?

Acer Aspire E5-575G-55NW 15.6" laptop REVIEW

Overview The Pros: Great battery life (up to 10-12 hours per charge) 256 GB SSD Hard Drive (we love the silence of a solid state hard drive!) Thin and portable enough 15.6" 1080p HD display screen (1920 x 1080) Dedicated NIDIVIA 940MX 2GB video card Intel i5 - 7 series processor The low price point The Cons: Trackpad feels a little cheap, too "bouncy-clicky" Display screen seems just a little bit dim, even on full brightness setting Overall: 3.7/5 STARS A great budget laptop that packs a punch! Made for the number cruncher, the student who values the balance between portability and performance, or the everyday person who likes watching a lot of videos and playing the casual game. The Physical The Acer Aspire E15 generally feels great in the hand when it's folded and carried it around.
