File this one under “Not Shocked”.  Google Wallet sent out an email to users today letting them know that as of June 30th of this year, the physical card associated with the service will no longer be supported.

After careful consideration, we’ve decided that we’ll no longer support the Wallet Card as of June 30. Moving forward, we want to focus on making it easier than ever to send and receive money with the Google Wallet app.

Given all of the changes that have been made by Google on payments and money transfers with Wallet and with Android Pay, the news was somewhat expected and had been rumored over the course of the past week.

Back in February I posted about a sale that Amazon was running on the SanDisk 200GB MicroSD card.  At the time, the price had dropped from $249.99 to $89.99 which was a huge savings.  Now you can pick up the same card for just $79.99 at the online retailer.   These cards are compatible with Android devices (assuming you have a MicroSD expansion slot) but you will want to check the maximum size your particular phone or tablet can handle.  It is a great deal on a great card that is tough to pass up for sure.

Over at Amazon, they are running a great deal on last year’s LG G4.  Currently you can pick up the 32GB model of the G4, unlocked, for $299.99.  That’s 48% off of the regular price of $579.99.  Sure it’s last year’s phone and sure it has been replaced with the new G5, but spec wise the G4 is rock solid and at this price, is a pretty good deal.  The LG G4 has a 5.5″ display, a MicroSD slot and a 16MP Camera.  It is definitely not a slouch.

It has taken a long time but for those who have the OnePlus 2, your wait for Android Marshmallow is coming to an end.  OnePlus today announced that a preview of OxygenOS 3.0, the Marshmallow based OS running on the 2, is now available for download for members of the community who want to try it.  The preview means that it is still in beta and it is possible (likely) that you will run into issues if you decide to load it on your device.  If you use your OnePlus 2 as your daily driver, it may be best to wait until the software is released to the general public.
