The Mpayyment widget is already a secure payment processing application on facebook (http://apps.facebook.com/mpayyment).

Any developers that want to build this into their applications can contact info@mpayy.com. The widget as is simply processes payments. However, Mpayy is actively looking for widget developers who want to promote some sort of commerce, and will work with them to bring our internet Point of Sale systems to bear to unlock digital content or inform inventory systems on the widget developer’s side.

Mpayy is developed and housed by US Bank, and works with all bank accounts in the United States.

We look forward to hearing from interested parties.

The RealGifts application has a nicely integrated and secure payment system.

Check it out at:

The application allows you to send and receive real, tangible gifts at your door from your Facebook friends. It keeps your delivery address private, but allows you to send and receive fun, tasty, or romantic gifts at deep discounts.

I didn’t think they would launch it – I do bet they at least announce a few details though. The big “surprise” launch I really think will be mobile though:
