Samsung has just unveiled a new Samsung Wallet app that looks a lot like Apple's Passbook app.

Samsung Wallet is a mobile app that allows users to store and manage event tickets, boarding passes, membership cards and coupons all in one place. Just like Passbook, users can receive time or location based notifications when they're able to use their passes. Additionally, real-time updates on membership card points and changes to boarding passes are also support.

Developers can contact Samsung for access to the Samsung Wallet API beta. NFC is not supported as of yet.

Samsung has partnered with Walgreens, Belly, Major League Baseball Advanced Media, Expedia, Booking.com, Hotels.com, and Lufthansa for launch.

Check out the video below and see if you can spot the similarities...

Google Wallet is very different to Samsung's and Apple's offerings.

Google Wallet is another form of Paypal, not for managing tickets and coupons. so in the end: Samsung copied apple. Google copied Paypal.

Samsung even copied the app design. They really can't come out with their own concept. Now they have their lawyer hired, so they think they can win every case.

Samsung may as well change its logo to a fruit now and make black turtle neck the official uniform of its top executives.

Google came up with the wallet before Apple ever put it in the iphone 5; therefore, who's copying who?

More importantly, idea/content-wise, this kind of unoriginality should be a let-down for any sane Samsung fan... In other words, for anyone unlike you!
