Samsung is showing its own mobile ticketing app to developers at the Mobile World Congress, according to multiple reports from Barcelona. The Samsung Wallet app can store tickets, boarding passes and other access permits, reservations and coupons on the mobile phone. The associated barcodes are displayed at the entry point, and the app also pushes reminders about upcoming events and associated offers. Samsung has signed up Walgreens, Major League Baseball, Expedia, Booking.com, Hotels.com and Lufthansa as Wallet's first partners. The API for developers is still in beta and available only to select partners, but Samsung plans to open it up to everyone starting in May, Cnet reported. The app, similar to Apple's Passbook, may be more widely announced at the planned launch of the Samsung Galaxy S IV handset next month.
