Square is coming... I can't wait!

Just saw this over at Inc.com I can't freaking wait for it to get out of beta stage. Especially for the summer since I do sailing lessons and getting payments is a bit of a pain since I'm on the water. If I could just take CC it'd be so much easier.

For personal use the App looks cool as well.

Take a look at it, I am in no way affiliated with the product by the way.

Second way would be if I was to actually sell stuff at a trade show or something from Rumford Aquatics. Third use I thought of was for selling things at school and other school functions. For example we could sell dance tickets and take CC with this or use it in the school store or at sporting events. Heck, I could start an amazing lemonade stand and use it to take payments!

So yeah, I think its a really cool useful technology. It'd be cool if they could also hook up with PayPal and let it all mesh. I dunno if that'll happen though...

With any luck I will. I didn't get into a competitive sailing track at school since my school doesn't offer sailing, but I'll probably be able to at least crew no problem. If I'm lucky I'll be able to skipper dunno though.
