Is Google or PayPal Leading the Charge in Mobile Payments?

PayPal made a big splash, saying that it now has commitments from 16 major retailers to roll out PayPal at the register. Additionally, it said it is partnering with four software providers to gain access to 50,000 small- to medium-sized merchants. Meanwhile, May 26 was exactly a year since Google launched its mobile wallet. So, you ask, which large technology company is winning the race to gain the hearts and wallets of consumers and retailers? Pretty clearly, it’s neither.
