PayPal has upgraded their Android application to resemble that of the iPhone application. Version 2 brings along a complete UI overhaul to Android with many new features like Bump technology that allows you to “bump” devices together to send money to another. Split Bill is an added feature in Version 2 that makes it easier when multiple parties need to calculate their portion of the bill.
According to a recent Nielson Company report, by the end of next year, more people will own smartphones than any other phone in the U.S., and that’s sure to drive people to use their phones to pay. We’ve definitely seen this growth ourselves. While we’ve had PayPal mobile applications since 2005, in the last few years we’ve seen usage soar. Over the last six months alone, PayPal generated nearly twice the mobile payment volume it did in all of 2009, and we expect to close out the year with over a half a billion dollars of mobile payment volume.
