Soon, you may be able to throw away your wallet. That's the vision of Nokia (NYSE: NOK), which announced that it will launch a mobile payments service.
The service is called Nokia Money (the platform is based on Obopay, in which Nokia recently made an investment). For the most part, it is geared for simplicity, which is definitely crucial for the consumer market. Essentially, you'll be able to send a payment by using another person's phone number. There will be other helpful features, such as the viewing of account balances in real time.
