Isis Mobile Wallet app for Android surfaces in Google Play, you probably can't run it

Unofficial rumblings have pointed to Isis Mobile Wallet's trial [getting](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/12/htc-droid-incredible-4g-lte-update-to-bring-global-roaming-and-isis/) [close](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/16/t-mobile-isis-mobile-wallet-pilot-program-october-22/). If you've remained skeptical all the same, we're pretty sure that seeing [Isis'](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Isis/) Android app in Google Play will change your mind. The currently T-Mobile-only software confirms that pilot program members will tie their American Express, Capital One or Chase card (as well as a unique card) to Isis for paying through NFC at stores with a SmartTap terminal. We're also promised streamlined loyalty cards and coupons. Before anyone rushes to try the app at the local shop, remember that it's just one piece of [the puzzle](http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/16/t-mobile-isis-mobile-wallet-pilot-program-october-22/) on top of the special SIM card, one of three NFC-equipped phones and that small matter of living in Austin or Salt Lake City when the service goes live. Having the official app at least lets those who qualify get a head start on what could soon be the only major alternative to [Google Wallet](http://www.engadget.com/tag/GoogleWallet/) in the US.
