CORAL SPRINGS, Florida, March 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

As mobile payments become more prevalent amongst consumers as well as businesses, new revolutionary smart wallets and apps continue to be introduced into the market place at a rapid pace.  Companies currently entrenched in the mobile payment industry in focus today are:  NXT-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXTD), Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE: BABA), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ: FB)

NXT-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ:NXTD) and (NXTDW), a biometric authentication company focused on the growing mobile commerce market, announces it has shipped Wocket smart wallets this week.   "We will be shipping a limited number of Wockets to early access pre-order customers over the next few weeks in preparation of fulfilling all pre-orders," said Gino Pereira, Chief Executive Officer of NXT-ID.

In additional mobile payment technology news and happenings: This week, Alibaba (NYSE: BABA) founder Jack Ma spoke at the CeBit conference in Hanover, Germany and demonstrated a new service called "Smile to Pay" that would give consumers a password-free way to shop online. The service would allow users to make a purchase from their mobile phone, then require them to snap a selfie to authenticate the purchase using Alibaba's facial recognition technology.

Like electric cars and smartwatches, mobile payments are all the rage in the technology world these days.  Although the technology is by no means new, tech giant Apple's  (NASDAQ: AAPL) rollout of Apple Pay last year ignited an arms race in the mobile payments space as only Apple's entry into a market can.

As a result, we've seen a flurry of movement on the mobile payment front from other serious tech giant players, most notably Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Samsung (SSNLF). So, which of these recently launched mobile payments systems can challenge Apple Pay? Let's find out.
