Looks like PayPal and mPoria, an m-commerce service provider, will become bosom buddies in the name of making it even easier for people to spend their money using smartphones and pda phones. Now those buying at mPoria's GoMobile! store can pay with their PayPal accounts through their compatible mobile.

mPoria has quietly built itself up as an easy-to-use and secure m-commerce provider. And it's obvious why companies would like to target mobile and handheld users: wider reach. It's easier to entice gadget owners to do a desired action, because their devices go wherever they are. Even the most portable internet-capable laptop can't fit in a user's pocket. Perhaps mPoria's system can complement or even compete with the RFID-based system of VISA.
