PayPal Updates Its Android App With Support For NFC Payments

PayPal updated its Android application today and has added one notable new feature: support for NFC payments. Using NFC, or near field communication, two PayPal users with NFC-enabled phones can send and receive�money using the mobile app. The feature, which was previously announced over the summer, also includes a "Request Money" widget that can be added directly to the Android homescreen. To use the widget, you simply tap it, enter an amount and then bump phones with your friend. On your friend's device, they'll see the request and can then enter their PayPal password to send you the money.
