Helio -- the flashy MVNO that markets to upper-crust teens and twenty-somethings -- has signed on to provide access to Obopay's mobile payment service to its customers, following a similar move earlier by rival amp'd mobile.
Obopay can be sued to perform several "money sharing" functions from a mobile handset, such as sharing money with friends and transferring funds using a mobile device -- as well as making physical payments at merchant sites.
If there is any demographic that is going to lead and create the space of mobile payments, it is the crowd that both Helio and amp'd mobile strive to land as customers.

1. Regarding your Obopay article, I presume you mean Obopay can be "used" vs "sued" as you have written - correct?
