Pay Via Paypal Coming to Android Market?

Not too long ago, we mentioned that Google would soon be adding more payment options to the Market. While it was thought the expansion would have additional carrier-billing options, I did suggest Paypal would be a great addition as well.

Now, Cnet is reporting that Paypal is in talks with Google to bring Paypal yet another billing option for app purchases. It would appear these talks are still in the early stages; Paypal and Google aren’t even commenting on a possible launch date yet.

Still, the Android community loves options. Combine that with the popularity of Paypal, and this sounds like a great partnership. What do you think?
