Google Revamps Google Pay, Plans New Mobile-First 'Plex' Bank Accounts

I bet thats where the emphasis is.
A bank account so Google have full access to all my transactions, along with my e-mail and search history?
Sign me up! Do I get a free Fitbit?

And everywhere you go via GM, and every photo via GP, and every web click and page visited via their trackers, and every document via GD and everything you say via their speakers and so on, all United ina massive virtual dossier

Looking at the video, this will overtake Apple Pay / Paypal, and most other payment apps like Cash.app / Venmo / Zelle - mark my words.

Also, the peeps in here spewing "lAwSuIt iNcOMiNg" don't understand trademark law at all. Go read up on Apple Corps vs Apple Computer.

P.S. While you're searching trademark law, look up googolplex.

I wonder if Apple Pay also available on android or not? since google pay is moving over to apple taritory. don't get me wrong, it's all good but I just want Apple Pay to be available on android as well.

That seems unlikely, in my opinion. This would be a trademark issue, but there is little chance of consumer confusion. The marks themselves aren't similar (Google is using a plain gray or silver logo), the industries are completely separate, and Plex (the software firm) is unlikely to enter the field that Google is trying to use the name in.

They might get a quick settlement to go away, but the underlying trademark violation is fairly weak.

Have you heard of this company called Apple who sue every other company on the planet that has anything that even vaguely resembles an apple in their branding (except MacRumors) regardless of what that company does as a business?
