Google, has been in discussion about utilizing PayPal, by eBay Inc., with its Android smartphone software. The talks include utilizing PayPal's mobile technology to collect payments for applications via Android smartphones.
Android is now the most popular domestic smartphone software, followed by iPhone and Blackberry, according to Gartner Inc. research. Though Google's Android only features 70,000 applications currently, compared to the vast iPhone library of 225,000 apps, this payment feature could increase the application developers likelihood to produce solely for the quick payment from the Android users.
Though talks have not been made public, people within the industry have said the PayPal feature may be available as soon as this year.
