"Square is looking to expand its reach into retail using its new Square Register app for the iPad."

It works for Apple so why not other companies? And it looks good too doesn't it?

You, Yes You, Can Accept Credit Card Payments Via Your iPhone

"Remember the Square card reader and payment service from our first hands-on video in January at Macworld Expo 2010? Square makes it possible for anyone, whether an individual or small business, to take payments via credit card. Shortly after Macworld Expo, I signed up for the service; I finally received my free credit card reader yesterday."

This will certainly make splitting up the coffee bill at work easier, now I can charge people exactly what they owe me! I'm kidding, but only partially. The folks at Square do make it easy to establish an account and the fees, according to the author are very reasonable. I wouldn't know since I have never administered one of these accounts for a business so I'll have to take his word for it, but the added convenience certainly would be worth something. What are your thoughts, anyone out there run a business that might take an interest in this?

Square iPhone Payment System

"Several months ago, we learned that Twitter's Inventor and Chairman, Jack Dorsey, was working on a brand new project, his first after stepping down as Twitter's CEO. Soon his new project was revealed to be the Square iPhone Payment System, which intends to replace credit cards with payments via your phone."

Born out of frustration when one of the members of the Square team, Jim McKelvey, realized he couldn't sell some artwork because he didn't take credit cards, this system solves that problem very nicely. Basically the device plugs into the audio input jack on your iPhone and you can start taking payments. Currently in Beta, they hope to have it out in early 2010.

You can see how it all works via this video on YouTube, although the sound quality isn't the greatest.
