I hope this means Google Wallet will be able to do what Google Checkout couldn't - finally take on Paypal. But before it does that, it needs to be ubiquitous on Android devices at least, and used by hundreds of millions of people, globally. Then maybe a day will come when you can withdraw the money out of your Google Wallet, in your own country, just like with Paypal.
