Hi blog readers!  I’m Eric Duprat from PayPal’s mobile team.  For all you Androidlovers out there, we’ve got a special treat for you today.  We’ve nowlaunched a PayPal app just for you.  This application will give youeasy access to your PayPal account right from your Android phone.
With this application, you’ll get:

Direct integration with the contact list.  You won’t need toremember people’s numbers or emails anymore to send them money!  Justselect their name from your list of contacts, and we’ll make sure theyget paid.

Recent history. You can use your phone to look at your transactionsover the last couple of months.  So if you ever need to check whetheror not a payment has come through, it’ll be simple to find out.

Balance checks.  We show you all your balances in any of the currencies you hold.

And, of course, all your mobile payments are kept safe using thesame start-of-the-art technology we use on paypal.com.  So, if you havean Android phone, visit the Android Market to download the app and try it out.  Let us know what you think!
