EN: PayPal and Google will unite for Android payments
PayPal is in talks with Google to embed its payments platform in the Android operating system, reported Bloomberg. Neither party has commented on the unconfirmed talks, but it is believed that users of Android phones are about to be able to pay for Apps with PayPal later this year. At the moment customers pay via credit card or Google's Checkout service.
Whether the deal is on or not is not quite clear yet, but this will be a great step for both companies as PayPal has 87 million active accounts, giving Google's Android Market potential access to many more paying customers.
With PayPal, Google will give the app developers another way to get paid, so will make them more likely to create software for Android. This can be of a great importance for the platform considering that now the Android Market has about 70,000 apps compared to Apple's 225,000 and the Windows Phone 7 is coming soon.
