Our small dry carpet cleaning business has been looking for this type of technology for use with our iphones. I’m excited about the application. We are always looking for new inovations and technology to improve our market postion. A simple swipe device to use out in the field to save time and money. Not to mention it looks very impressive to our clients. I look forward to hearing more about the product.

This technology is great specially to those small businesses or self-employed individuals for charging their clients thru credit cards. But even though this technology is a big help, it looks like it is prone to credit card fraud. .-= Lito|TheFilipinoEntrepreneur.Com´s last blog ..Tony Tan Caktiong’s Say About His Company’s Jollibee Brand =-.

Hey Richard,

I think the differentiator is the fact that it will eventually be a p2p system which is where it gets quite disruptive

The mobile payments space is really interesting, and is definitely a huge opportunity. But Mr. Dorsey is not the first company to make a mobile payments product.

A number of companies already make software like this for the iPhone. AppNinjas makes an App called iSwipe that let’s you accept credit card payments on your iPhone, and that has worked great for me since the summer. Here is the link:

Guys .. I think some have touched on this but most are overlooking the “Rope a dope” he is pulling.. saying this going after small biz .. sounds cool.. But the disruptive part of this model is the adaption that will allow a paypal on crack.. so if I owe you $10 for pizza etc to firend or your selling your 95 honda civic for $1500 how cool would it be if you could take a CC.. or imagine what this could do for Craigslist transactions.. Ebay and Paypal are taking notice trust me!.. .-= blendahtom´s last blog ..BlendahTom: Comment on: Is Jack Dorsey's Square Going After the Wrong Customers?: Guys ..

This has flea market written all over it. Shame though, would love to see a legitimate threat to that mess called PayPal.

Appropriate list of concerns here. I see this as a huge opportunity for freelancers, trade-show frequenters and anyone else who conducts enough business out of the office that an on-the-fly solution would make sense. I'm liking what I've seen so far, and I can't wait to see if it's really an earth-shaker. .-= Ian Greenleigh´s last blog ..What Klout Can’t Calculate: Dimensions of Influence =-.
