no doubt this could be great for accepting payments in remote locations, or sit down restaurants, but that was way too slow for most retail locations. I go nuts? at the grocery store when the person in front of my whips out the checkbook.

Durrrr. Do you actually shop online. Anywhere ?
It will undoubtedly be encrypted before it hits the wire, just like any other transaction. Pretty obvious to anyone I would have thought. Do you work for VISA or something ?
The big credit card guys' should be really fearing this, it's the payment processing world's equivalent to open source software - very little they can do about it but sweat. Which is good news for the rest of us and every business on the planet. :D
I saw the site this morning while browsing the net and was quite impressed. Looks to be a great option when looking into card payments, while the system also looks elegant and the site doesn't look half bad too.
Look forward to seeing how it grows over the coming months.
Very welcome, can we use it on our websites, though? A way to pay without having to use credit cards was what I was hoping for when I saw "new mobile payment system". Still good.
On the plus side it seems that it will lower the barrier to entry for smaller retailers to be able to process card payments quickly and efficiently however like someone mentioned already in the UK and a bunch of Europe we use chip and pin which is much faster than this. Also a bunch of banks are now rolling out cards with nfc so will be interesting to see how square deals with that.

You obviously didn't read how the device works. It converts your CC data into an audio fie that is inaudible and uploads that to the APP. You really should read more than one article before commenting.
I thought iswipe is similar to Square mobile payment system but I think they differ because iswipe needs a merchant account. So I assume square don't need any. This technology is great! hoping this will also be available in my country soon.

Wow that is good news a little competition should spice up the merchant card services innovativeness. Im curious as to what's next.

Square is looking for someone to build out their operations center in St. Louis. Thanks......
Not terribly useful outside of the US. In the rest of the world, nobody swipes credit cards any more; we use chip + pin ...
This is awesome!
Very innovative and a clear,natural progression of mobile technology. Extremely clever!
The iPhone still has 2 huge flaws though! You'll be shocked!

Well I hope this turns out to be as intuitive as Twitter itself!
My only hope is that this is international. I will follow closely.
