Can you really get a phone you can swipe a credit card through?
Sure - they’ve been around a while. See ‘the square’ for an example.
Yes, go to www.squareup.com
They send you a card reader in the mail for free when you open an account.
I use this in my small business, very handy when you want to take authorized credit card payments with a very competitive fee. They are cheaper than my business banking card processing. You dont have to be a merchant either, anybody can take credit card payments. Hit up that deadbeat brother in law who owes you $50, tell him you take credit cards!
I am on Verizon with a Droid2 and love it. I can see how little Suzy could build a business on it. Its become a definate asset to mine.
