Square looks really good.
However I am a little confused with their pics. They show their dongle plugged into the base of the iphone and again on their website, yet in the video they plug it into the headphone socket?

The square thing looked really interesting. But i'm guessing its US only at the moment? seeing in Europe we use Chip & Pin, no one really uses the magnetic strip anymore. Get a chip reader version and it'd sell like hotcakes!
Can the Square App process credit cards over the phone, ie, say you're on call to a customer and they give you their credit card details, can you type it into the App and process a payment?
The 32GB 3G iPad is for those heavy FloTV days...
Of course you could always use the 16GB wifi only iPad for the lighter days.
Not sure what if any 'special' deals that Square might have cut with Apple, but the headphone jack is not, to the best of my knowledge, an Apple Made for iPod / Works with iPhone supported interface. I would be surprised if Square is permitted to use the Works with iPhone or Made for iPod logos in advertising or on printed materials. Square is bypassing the Apple hardware licensing model and also the Apple hardware certification process by using the headphone jack.
$149 for a cheap DVI adapter???
How much do you think it costs them to make this cable? $5? $7?
Highway robbery at its best!
Nope. Chargeback potential. Cash is king.
