Google Motorola Buy Could Boost Google Wallet
Google's acquisition of Motorola Mobility could affect Google's mobile wallet plans and efforts.

Gary Kim was cited as a global "Power Mobile Influencer" by Forbes, ranked second in the world for coverage of the mobile business, and as a "top 10" telecom analyst. He is a member of Mensa, the international organization for people with IQs in the top two percent.
