This is pretty cool and is a good insight into where mobile payments are heading. At MobileBeat 2011 today PayPal unveiled a new Android widget that allows NFC (near-field communication) capable devices to transfer money by simply bumping their phones together.

PayPal says this will be rolled out sometime this Summer for NFC enabled devices, so right now it’s the Nexus S.
