PayPal Android Mobile Payments, Next after PayPal iPhone App

This is how PayPal explains about PayPal Android-integrated mobile payments & PayPal iPhone App- “With our iPhone library, you’ll be able to start accepting payments for physical goods and services in a matter of minutes. Whether you’re looking to replicate a storefront you have online or you’re making something unique for the mobile device, this library can help you get paid. You won’t need to collect financial information or make users go to your website to complete a purchase. With our library, we’ll take care of the payment flow and you can keep focusing on making those great apps. Here’s how it will work. You’ll call a method to tell us how much you want to charge and who the money should go to. We’ll then slide up a view for the consumer to confirm the payment. When it’s complete, we’ll slide this back down.”

PayPal performs payment processing for online vendors, auction sites, and other commercial users, for which it charges a fee. It sometimes also charges a transaction fee for receiving money (a percentage of the amount sent plus an additional fixed amount). The fees charged depend on the currency used, the payment option used, the country of the sender, the country of the recipient, the amount sent and the recipient’s account type. However whether PayPal shall charge for its mobile payment service is yet to be seen? But, it is guaranteed that the app will cost a huge amount if bought from the respective App stores.

Android app purchases currently are made using a credit card or Google’s own competitor to PayPal, Google Checkout. PayPal is already available as an application for accepting and making mobile payments on several mobile platforms, including Android. The reported description of PayPal for mobile sounds like it would work in a more integrated fashion on Android, similar to how the iTunes Store works on Apple’s iOS devices.

Well personally speaking Google Check out works perfectly fine for me but there is still something inside me that says that I would love to see the PayPal app running on my Android- may be because I have been using it for so many other things like online shopping and stuff like that. PayPal will launch their In App payment service in Q2 to the US, Canada, UK, France, Italy, The Netherlands and Australia. However much details about hoe the app shall work are not available now. We shall keep you updated as the news propagates. In the meantime you can drop your views about the PayPal service on your smartphone and are there any security- issues that you feel need to be brought to the forefront?

    iPhone App To Get More Charitable And Check-Friendly— good news for iphone users I think.
    Well, though maybe the iPhone is not safe enough for Paypal, but it’s improve and do some more things for users. like iPhone 4, quite a few people have had alot of problems with the Iphone 4, Antennagate, signal bars, yeallow spots…but it does have its positives. Like said, it has longer battery lif and i also love the design of it. Its resolution astounded me for some reason, with the Retina display and remarkable 960×640 resolution screen and iFunia iPhone video converter, watching movies are unbelievably sharp and crisp. And now apple are do some fix for the signal problem.
    Back to the topic, everything is go on the gight road, still do improving, then is OK!
