iPhone as a tool
Tue Dec 8th, 2009No, this isn’t some weird post about the iPhone being a literal swiss army knife (although it kinda is in some way). With all the chatter about how awesome the iPhone is for gaming, we continually overlook some of the more sensational applications the iPhone provides.
Well, today I found yet another. SquareUp is an application and a device that attaches to your iPhone’s proprietary port, transforming it into a Credit Card reader. Swipe cards and pay for stuff. This isn’t exactly new stuff (the Treo of yesteryear was configured in much the same way), but it’s yet another great indication that the portable device is truly a revolutionary and ubiquitous use device.
