Since I left Apple (Ex Genius) I have been doing a lot of Freelance work in my many fields of expertise. The hardest part of this style of business is not excepting credit cards. I have looked at several solutions like iSwipe from AppNinjas to many of the other 30+ possibilities in the iTunes App Store. Nothing really popped my socks except for iSwipe ( @ $1.99 it is actually the cheapest option) and that really wasn’t trippin’ the lights fantastic for me.
Then the was the reveal for the handy devices at the local Apple Retail Stores. This was getting a little bit closer. A few weeks ago I heard of the Mophie option coming soon… Now I’m excited…. this is looking promising.
Well today my homeboy Kevin Rose dropped a big bomb on the situation… (see the video). Squareup.com now has the solution I will for sure get. This is not only sleek and elegant it was made for people like me. I have been a follower of Kevin and his adventures since “Follower” was an internet related word and Kevin was the new kid on TechTV’s call for help with Leo Laporte.
I think you have gotta see this baby in action, so Square please send me one asap, poppa needs to buy some new shoes.
