PayPal Mobile officially announced
While U.S. consumers and wireless operators have been eyeing the m-wallet and pilot-testing various systems, Japanese wireless operators like NTT DoCoMo have already run successful services that use the phone for a credit card, ATM card, apartment key, and train ticket.
PayPal President Jeff Jordan said in a statement that with the overwhelming popularity of mobile phones, the time was right to start considering the merging of e-commerce and wireless devices.
