Earlier this week Microsoft announced a big loss to it's mobile division. They announced over 1300 inherited Nokia employees will be laid off. Now we are finding out that they will be losing a popular app as well. Today PayPal announced that it will be pulling its app from the Windows Store on June 30th. They have also announced that the Blackberry App World will suffer the same fate. It looks like Blackberry and Windows Phone users will have to resort to the PayPal website instead. here is the announcement from PayPal's VP Joanna Lambert that declare the app would no longer be sticking around on the 4th and 3rd place mobile OS's.
"It was a difficult decision to no longer support the PayPal app on these mobile platforms, but we believe it's the right thing to ensure we are investing our resources in creating the very best experiences for our customers. We remain committed to partnering with mobile device providers, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our customers."
It's highly doubtable but we will see if PayPal decides to change its mind when the surface phone is released.
