Your absolutely correct Elliot. I read a story about this company yesterday and even looked at their website. I was going to look at it again this morning and put in square.com and got nothing. I found it via this post. If I can’t even remember their name less than twenty-four hours after looking at their website, then it’s a problem.

I would just like to point out that while the Square product idea looks pretty cool (website / marketing strategy nonwithstanding) Jack Dorsey is definitely not the first person to sell a product of this type.

There are several companies that make Apps that enable users to accept credit cards on the iPhone. These are all pretty similar to Square. I have been using iSwipe for the last six months or so. That is an iPhone App made by AppNinjas. Works well and very easy to use.
