Description
Square is a tiny attachment that can be plugged into the headphone jack of a smartphone or tablet to allow anyone to accept a credit card payment. The card is slid through the attachment; signatures on touch screens stand in for printed receipts. This simple idea is as efficient and potentially transformative as designer Jack Dorsey’s previous big idea: he is one of the co-inventors of Twitter.
