The good folks over at Phandroid have found out that there are a couple of unused icons lingering around in the Android marketplace. The icons are for Ringtones, wallpapers, and Google Checkout support. So does this means that we could expect to see these things soon on Android ? I can bet on it.

Mobile Crunch thinks that Google Checkout is an obvious choice for Android:

Google Checkout is a fairly obvious step for Android. They’ve had it up and running for over 2 years now, and have already done the legwork of building the credit card processing system, negotiating fees, etc. With the purchase price already involving 3 parties (The carrier, the developer, and Google, though Google takes nothing more than whatever is required to cover transaction fees), bringing anyone else in to handle something Google already has a solution for makes no sense.

Will this be the only choice on Android or will Google allow other payment services like Paypal to flourish on its mobile platform as well ? fingers crossed here.
