PayPal is launching a new application that lets you send cash from your account to whoever you want right from your BlackBerry. It integrates with the native contact list for added convenience, and also has access to your account balance and transaction history. These two companies have been cozy ever since the BlackBerry App World launched, since RIM chose PayPal as the exclusive payment method (although carrier billing is apparently on the way). “Send Money” will be available in Canada, USA, UK, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, Ireland, Portugal and Australia, but there’s apparently some confusion about the launch, since the original press release was taken down, and Send Money can’t be found anywhere in App World. In any case, when it does show up, it’ll be free. Versions for Android (from which the above pic is unabashedly Photoshopped) and iPhone are also available, which you can find here.

Simon Sage’s education largely surrounded writing, technology and online community, leading him to begin his blogging career at www.BlackBerryCool.com and to quickly discover a vibrant and active community surrounding BlackBerry and mobile technology. In exploring RIM’s platform, he has learned what enterprises are looking for in mobility as well as what makes the innocuous BlackBerry so appealing to them. Recently Simon’s been covering RIM’s gradual move into an already-crowded consumer market, and the impact of burgeoning challengers, such as the iPhone, as well as long-time leaders, like Nokia, on BlackBerry’s advancement. With plenty of content under his belt, Simon will be branching off a bit to see what other smartphone manufacturers are working on while still using BlackBerry as a barometer. At IntoMobile, you can count on his posts being even-handed, well-informed and thought-out.
