Upgraded — Get a new MacBook every two years. From $36.06/month with AppleCare+ included.
Turns an iPad into a point of sale register. Given how many small businesses I already see using Square, I think this is going to sell well.
Update: Square says, “Square Stand works with iPad 2 and 3 (30-pin connector) and costs $299. iPad not included.” Only working with 30-pin connector iPads seems pretty short-sighted, no? Those things are probably going the way of the Dodo bird. And why does it cost $299 if it’s just a stand, a power adapter, and an integrated Square reader? (They send you the dongle readers for free when you sign up.)
