I enjoy reading your articles and even linking readers to them, but all tech and payments media has to get off the band wagon here. PayPal in-store checkout is NOT mobile payments, nor does do they even have a mobile wallet.

Please read my article on MobileWalletMedia dot com: “Discover Finds PayPal, but where’s the mobile wallet?

I dont much care who they partner with. They have always been a use them because you have to use them service.

Paying by mobile is a wobbly proposition and ANYBODY that comes out in this payment space has a much better chance of scoring some traction. I am not the only one I know that will refuse to use Paypal via phone.

I suggest discover rethinks this failing strategy.
