Another Google Financial Services Baby Step
September 10, 2009
I learned from Internet.com’s “Google to Add Android Payment Options” an interesting factoid:
The news of additional payment options comes on the heels of criticism from some developers who voiced concern over having Checkout — which has yet to become widely adopted — as the sole option for payment processing, as well as frustration over Google’s 24-hour buy-and-try return policy.
How much will Google’s “additional payment options” add to Google’s fledgling and somewhat sparse line up of financial functions? Is Google becoming more responsive to inputs from non Googlers? A little addition here and a little addition there may add up to something. I estimate 18 to 24 months for the picture to gain clarity.
