Square Unveils Redesigned Square Credit Card Reader

Today Square released the latest generation of its credit card reader that enables users to accept credit cards via the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

The all-new Square Reader is built with custom-designed components for better performance, easier use and an elegant, thinner design.

"We engineered purpose-built components to create both excellent performance and beautiful design, without compromise," said Jesse Dorogusker, head of Hardware at Square.


Features:
● A custom magnetic readhead and spring. Thinner and more accurate than the alternatives, the readhead parses redundant data from credit cards to ensure successful swipes.
● Custom electronics in a single chip. The reader is powered by the phone into which it is plugged, eliminating the need for a bulky battery and increasing life and reliability.
● Improved communications protocols and a custom audio plug. The Square Reader is compatible with more devices than ever before.
● The thinnest mobile card reader on the market.

The new Square Reader is available today at the link below...
