One obvious hole in the upcoming Windows 10 Mobile is the lack of a wallet.
Without it, there’s no over the counter payment features, no unified billing service or single place to put vouchers, coupons, discount codes, store cards and other information.
That’s a huge amount of information to load into an app, to share with retailers, banks, businesses and online merchants. All of which means “soon” might be longer than we’d hope.
Microsoft’s Joe Belfiore mentioned the problems Microsoft faces and the company’s hopes after yesterday’s Lenovo event, explaining that it is hard at work on addressing the many facets of this problem that took Apple and Samsung years to get right.
With those templates, and all the money transfer licenses, protocols and other elements Microsoft needs to acquire, it at least has the benefit of hindsight to speed the process along, and come up with a product that can outclass the competition.
Whenever the app is ready, a load of testing will also be required, and if Microsoft wants to give us its corporate credit card number, we’ll be happy to help try it out.
