To the delight of shopaholics everywhere, Visa has announced that it's jumped on the Google Wallet bandwagon -- giving card users access to the snazzy, new NFC payment system. Much like MasterCard's announcement last week, the licensing agreement will allow Visa users to link their credit, debit and prepaid cards to Google's offering for fast mobile payments in places that accept the service. The credit card company has dabbled in mobile payments before through payWave, but with plans to integrate into GW, we'll surely be seeing more of it in the near future. As momentum over the NFC-powered mobile phones grows, it will be interesting to see if the Real Housewives can part with their phones long enough for their assistants to pay for those Manolos. Check out the full PR after the break.

drag2share: Aperion Audio's second-gen Zona Home Audio Link cuts the musical tether for $150

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/20/aperion-audios-second-gen-zona-home-audio-link-cuts-the-musical/

No need for the bookshelf speakers? No problem. Aperion Audio just introduced the second-generation Zona Home Audio Link system, enabling cable detesters to send music from any USB / 3.5mm-enabled source to, well... just about anything. The basic HAL package is comprised of a compact wireless transmitter and receiver, and since there's no proprietary shenanigans going on, it's about as universal in nature as you'll find. Needless to say, folks who've been trying to find an easy(ish) way to convert their existing indoor / outdoor speakers into wireless speakers should certainly have a gander, and given that it'll stream uncompressed 16 bit/48 kHz CD-quality audio to up to three simultaneous zones, the $149 price tag just might be justified. Hit the source to learn more (or place your order, if you've heard enough).

This Is My Next just got a leaked image of what MIGHT be an unannounced 7-inch Motorola tablet. It looks nothing like the Xoom; it's much thinner and curves up at the ends. Will Moto make a statement soon? [This Is My Next]

drag2share: Leaked Image Shows Faster A5 Brains Inside Next iPhone's Guts [Iphone 5]

Source: http://gizmodo.com/5841680/leaked-image-shows-faster-a5-brains-inside-next-iphones-guts

This allegedly leaked image shows Apple's A5 processor—the brains of the iPad 2—firmly inserted into the next-generation iPhone electronic guts. While we suspected this was going to be the case, this would be the first visual confirmation.

If it's a photo of the real thing, that is. You can also see a new higher-capacity battery pack next to it, which could mean a sightly longer battery life.

The shot also confirms the larger speaker grill on the top. [Weibo via Phonearena via MacRumors]
