I jave seen the article here yesterday. This is big news for cryprocurrency since this could lead to mass awareness and adaptation. Good to know that cryptocurrency is somehow being recognized by some companies as an alternative to cash or plastic money. Let's hope this will be a start for some companies and merchants to accept cryptocurrency as a payment method.
Honestly I will not be surprised if there are applications / developers from third parties who develop bitcoin payments but with their help. but doesnt mean I am not proud and respectful, there are already many applications from third parties that already exist you know ? I will be more proud and happy if merchants like Starbucks state that they accept payment with bitcoin 
but I am still happy if there are additions from other third parties who adopt bitcoin. Good development of bitcoin anyway
