Looks like payees have to be members too, could be a pita getting custies to sign up. But very cheap rates considering. Much cheaper than mist merchant accounts

Apple store sales people were using this bit of kit last year! I bought another set of earphones for ipod, payed by card, sales guy swiped it, asked if i wanted receipt via email or post, said email, about 20 seconds after paying, my BB went off and there was my receipt! The guy said that it would be here for businesses by the end of the year, and that apple were going to try to muscle in on BB and make the iphone more appealing for business users.

Looks like a very handy bit of kit for pulling in payment over the phone but surely if a customer is in then a cheque or cash payment is the preferred option.

Saying that though, I would imagine it beats some business accounts for the cost of processing a cheque.

It was hinted at in the video, havent read the website yet though, when he 'sells' the couch to his mate it says 'and he is already a member' so i thought they meant that you need to be a member.

I was considering swapping to iphone from BB but it has just been anounced that they are doing away with free unlimited browsing for ipone users, so think I will stay with what I have.
Apparently 3% of ipone users use about 35% of the bandwidth.
dont ask me to explain as its all gobbledegook to me   :P

You can get a phone that runs android (most new non iphones).

Much better than iprison.
