Big guns to tap into mobile commerce technology

Online payment company PayPal Australia says its launch of Pay Pal Mobile Checkout will bring mobile commerce into the mainstream. Users enter their PayPal user name and password and details of their purchase into their mobile telephone. Mobile Wine Club, Ready Flowers and Catch-of-the-Day.com.au are the three partners with which PayPal is launching the service, with Warner Music Australia and Hoyts Cinemas also planning to launch mobile commerce sites using PayPal by the end of the year. Rival provider mHits claims PayPal's system will not be as convenient or secure as an SMS-based system.
