PayPal pitches its wider vision for mobile payments
PayPal, which has been a powerhouse in online payments but hasn't really cracked the market for real-world payments of goods, is starting to show off how it can put all of its components and recent acquisitions together to form a broad tool for mobile payments.
White Space database system to face its first trial
One of the database networks that will manage unlicensed broadband devices across the country will face its first public test beginning this Monday at 8:30am, and it will be a long one. The Federal Communications Commission's Office of Engineering Technology says that for 45 days it will facilitate a public trial of vendor Spectrum Bridge's database—designed to identify "white space" television band channels authorized for unlicensed use by broadband devices.
"We encourage all interested parties to test the database and provide appropriate feedback to Spectrum Bridge," the announcement explains. The challenge is whether the Spectrum Bridge system properly registers TV channels available for use and those not available, protecting the latter from interference from white space gadgets that can sniff for and identify temporarily free TV bands.

Sprint: We're Ready For The iPhone! (S, AAPL)
Sprint's CFO Joe Euteneur told an audience at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Media, Entertainment & Communications conference that the network is ready for the iPhone.
However, he didn't go so far as to say that Sprint was definitely getting the iPhone, despite the rumors we've been hearing lately.
Here's what Euteneur said when asked about the iPhone on Sprint, via Fierce Wireless:
"...we are spending the capital we need and to make sure we don't create a bad user experience--irrespective of all the rumors."
Euteneur went on to say that Sprint knows selling the iPhone would hurt its margins in the short term, but customers continue to demand the device.

TestFlight offers new SDK, adds feedback and enterprise support
We've covered TestFlight before, and I recently started using it to test a top secret app for AOL*. If you're a developer who wants to reduce the friction of testing beta apps for iOS, you absolutely must check it out. It makes beta distribution of your app a drop-dead simple process by leveraging a native TestFlight app and whatever beta you wish to deploy. Yesterday TechCrunch noted that version 2 of the service is rolling out, with even more goodies for developers.
What goodies? Many of the additions involve getting user feedback, a somewhat large hole in the otherwise awesome service. There are also hooks for crash reports and "check points" to monitor actual use in the app. TestFlight now also supports enterprise accounts so you can deploy your beta to as many devices as you need (provided you have an Enterprise developer account with Apple, of course).
While TestFlight is free for developers, they are reserving the right to start charging for some of these new features. I think that's a smart move. Things like check points are immensely valuable to developers who create complex apps, but less so if your app has a very basic feature set. It's also good for them to start monetizing this service so it persists -- as of right now it is absolutely a best of breed service that all iOS developers should consider.
*Feel free to guess what I'm testing in the comments. I'll never tell! Well, I'll have to eventually.
