Apples iWallet is on the way.

The iwallet from Apple is on its way -

"Apple Wins Patent for iWallet: The one that will rule the World"

http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2012/03/apple-wins-patent-for-iwallet-the-one-that-will-rule-the-world.html

Considering Apple has over 200 million people with a itunes account, this is a no brainer.

Will we see "Wallet" domains being registered like we did with "cloud" after icloud appeared ?

Is anyone else interested in mobile commerce domains ?

Would love to know opinions.

Cheers

Marchex owns iWallet.com and I don't know who bought Wallet.com.

Imagine if the original trademark holder bought the .com, it looks like it was available, not to far ahead of his time. I hope they are not poor because that would suck.....

The trademark is worth way more, they most likely could have recovered the domain...

A few people have mentioned that Zynga or Google have obtained - Wallet.com

They have redirected it to Google.com as well.
