EBay Inc.’s PayPal business is in talks to add its payment service to Google Inc.’s Android smartphone software, making it easier for users to pay for applications, three people familiar with the matter said.
Users of Android phones, such as Motorola Inc.’s Droid X and HTC Corp.’s Droid Incredible, may be able to pay for apps with PayPal as soon as this year, said the people, who declined to be named because the discussions aren’t public. Customers currently pay via credit card and Google’s Checkout service.
