What’s next from Google? Google Wallet?, the much awaited PayPal killer. There is the same 404 error on the Google Wallet page as we saw in Google Talk! (Of course this could be one big load of c..p)Good work, Google Rumors. eBay flew under the Google radar long enough!

You get the same 404 if you go to http://www.google.com/bunnies.

I think that 404 error will appear with whatever. try http://www.google.com/whatever.

What happened with Google Talk is that when you typed talk.google.com you got redirected to the 404 page. which is not happening if you type wallet.google.com.

That doesn’t mean they’re not close to getting out that service though, anything’s possible.

Rumors or whatever, can you retract this post? A redirect from a subdomain (talk.google.com to google.com/talk, then 404 error) is the kind of value add we are really looking for from you.

We could call this a 4944 error.

Google Payment Corp.

Google ha creado una nueva sociedad, Google Payment Corp. La cuestión es para qué: ¿Google Wallet? ¿Banca Google? Hace tiempo Antonio Ortiz comentó el interés de Google en competir con PayPal (eBay): Google Payment a por PayPal.
