It might not be big right now, but we’re definitely going to see an upward trend in online shopping habits. This is no idle speculation on my part; it’s a natural evolution in the way we use our mobile devices. To facilitate this increasing demand RIM has announced an application that will make the shopping experience much easier: BlackBerry Wallet. It allows you to securely store your credit card information, including rewards programs, plus your shipping information right on your BlackBerry device.

There are two tiers to the security of BlackBerry Wallet. First is password protection. In order to access the application, you must enter the password you created when first setting up the wallet. This provides insurance in case your phone is stolen.

The second is AES encryption. You can read more about the security advantages of AES encryption here.

You can download BlackBerry Wallet at mobile.blackberry.com.
