Although it’s still (at least officially) limited to the Sprint’s Nexus S 4G users only, Google keeps expanding its Google Wallet service. The latest move comes from Cantaloupe Systems (technology provider for vending machines) and First Data (payment processing company which is a Google Wallet partner), which have integrated Google’s contactless payment service into 6,000 of its 80,000 vending machines across New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and D.C. metropolitan areas. Of course, that’s just a start, with additional vending machines to get the capability in the near future.

At the same time, we’re hoping the “regular” Nexus S will also get the official Google Wallet support (the unofficial one isn’t adopted by the majority of users), further making contactless payments accessible to the general public. Then when the Galaxy Nexus launches we may quickly reach the tipping point with more companies joining the trend. We’ll see…
