We love to have the latest updates on our phones and to keep them in sync with the newest offerings out there. While some manufacturers tend to update rather sporadically, Google is the king in updates - it almost seems the company can't stop updating its services. So, if you are a Google Nexus S owner you are looking to get hit with a Android 2.3.5 update.

We hear that the update will take care of smaller fixes like bugs as well bring in some major changes. As this update is still under wraps, there is very little information on the bundled features being offered- but there are off course many rumors. One such rumor is that the new update will brings in support for the NFC Secure Element which is quite essential for the Google Wallet.

According to Droid Life , the Google Wallet service will enable the android handsets to act as credit or debit card and be used to making payments, which means that the mobile users can go wallet-free. With NFC on your phone, users will experience a hassle free shopping experience - with a simple tap and wave.
