Wocket™ is a smart wallet, the next evolution following the smart phone and smart watch. NXT-ID is introducing its innovative, patent-pending Wocket™ as the next natural step in the evolution of smart devices. Wocket™ is a next generation smart wallet designed to protect your identity and replace all the cards in your wallet, with no smart phone required. The Wocket works anywhere credit cards are accepted and only works with your biometric stamp of approval. NXT-ID recently announced that its shares of common stock and the warrants to purchase common stock to be issued in its proposed underwritten public offering of common stock and warrants have been approved for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to closing of its proposed underwritten public offering of the common stock and warrants, and will trade under the symbol "NXTD" and "NXTDW," respectively.

Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) has also made news regarding its rumored digital wallet in the works. A newly public patent application from Apple describes a detailed backend architecture for a mobile wallet designed to hold digital credit, debit cards and coupons issued by a range of merchants and financial institutions. The filing describes the system as capable of powering mobile transactions conducted via QR codes, the cloud, and contactless NFC (near field communication). It's also explicitly engineered to handle large bursts of traffic, "such as can occur on a so-called 'launch day' of a client device." According to a detailed review by BI Intelligence and independent experts, the patent application describes an "omni-wallet," which allows other parties to securely send data to Apple device owners, using sophisticated encryption and secure hardware to prevent fraudsters from intercepting or duplicating sensitive information such as digital credit cards.

Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) is also thought to be an all-in-one digital wallet. Research and data specialists Forrester has forecast that Google will shift its mobile payment services away from in-store payments toward building a comprehensive digital wallet for every stage of the purchasing journey. This will continue a trend of greater integration between Google's growing suite of products such as Google Maps, Gmail, Google Play and Google Now. The report comes amidst growing fears from a number of financial firms that Google may seek to extend its technological dominance into the field of banking, which many believe to be ripe for a new wave of digital disruption.
