The app market for Google’s smartphone operating system Android is a great hub to get all your desired apps. However, one of the major drawbacks of the market is that if a user wants to buy a non-free app for his Android based smartphone, he has to dwell into complex payment processes. The good news, however, is that PayPal might be entering the app market to make that process a lot simpler for everyone.
Currently, the payment process at Android market requires Google checkout to confirm the deal for an Android app which is a cumbersome process. Bloomberg has reported that Google is talks with PayPal and users may be able to pay for the apps they buy through their PayPal accounts as early as the end of this year.
PayPal is currently one of the most popular and widely used payment method over purchases made over the internet and is virtually known as “internet money”. Making the payment process easier on the Android market via PayPal would mean the Android market becomes more and more attractive to both the developers and the users like the Apple app store.
Although no official statement has been released by either party, Google spokesman stated that they don’t comment on rumors and speculations. So we’ll have to wait and find out what the future brings about.

This would be pretty cool and make it so much handier for buying apps, the only problem is there’s still no paid apps available in my android market
