Quite impeccable timing on Google's part, merely days after developers and publishers are up-in-arms over Apple's 30% cut for on-device content.

Well played Schmidt, well played.

Doesn't this name clash with the Continental Airlines frequent flyer program name?

I'm sure, if this is going to court, they will have some money in the bank to pay them.

One Pass "also offers payments in mobile apps, in instances where the mobile OS terms permit transactions to take place outside of the app market." Nice dig.

And there's no demonstration of how it works in the video or in any images. It's as if some people at Google decided to react to Apple's recent bad press by putting up a web page and a blog post announcing a product without actually having built anything yet.

Are people really going to confuse a frequent flyer program and a payment system?

Perhaps they're trying to gauge support before rallying to actually build the thing.

I get the same "error". I think the real login is coming very soon. Maybe to much server load :-)
