Paypal finally has an option similar to Square and Intuit. It has made it into the mobile payment market. Though late, Paypal seems to have a more recognizable name in the world of payment systems and that may just be enough to push them to the front of the line. They are also offering merchants a 2.7% flat rate on transactions versus the 2.75% offered by Square. PayPal didn’t stop there either, launching a full on geometrical attack by choosing a triangle as the shape of choice for their card reader dongle.
The new PayPal Here Dongle is only available to select merchants at this time but you can sign up to be notified when they finally go public. The app, however, is now available on iOS and will be coming to Android anytime soon. Paypal goes on to talk about its unque features:
More ways to get paid. PayPal Here supports credit cards, debit cards, cash, check and PayPal. You can even send electronic invoices
PayPal Here uses encryption to help protect card information as it swipes
Competitive pricing at a 2.70% per swipe, free check acceptance and mobile invoicing

Attracts new customers. Your business will appear in the PayPal mobile app, used by millions of PayPal customers looking for local shops and services
Industry leading security and fraud protection
Live phone and online customer support

iPhoto for iOS just released yesterday. Bloggers who got access to the new iPad noticed something strange, some of the map features don’t have that traditional, Google Maps look to them. Actually these map are not Google maps anymore. They are based on a platform using OpenStreetMap combined with Apple’s own map tiles. Here is what OpenStreetMap’s blog is saying:
“Yesterday Apple launched iPhoto, its photo management app, for the iPad and iPhone… and we’re rather pleased to find they’re the latest to switch to OpenStreetMap.
The desktop version of iPhoto, and indeed all of Apple’s iOS apps until now, use Google Maps. The new iPhoto for iOS, however, uses Apple’s own map tiles – made from OpenStreetMap data (outside the US).”
Since 2009, Apple has been acquiring mapping technology like Placebase, Poly9 and C3 Technologies. Presumably, the company has been looking for an alternative mapping service to Google’s, since the two are operating system rivals. However, Google Maps is the most widely used mapping service around and Apple probably realized that its users would be comfortable with its familiarity.
Apple isn’t the only company that is moving away from Google Maps. Social networking website Foursquare also recently moved to another mapping service using OpenStreetMaps for its data. Real estate company StreetEasy did the same this past January. It looks like Google Maps is losing its shininess among those needing mapping services in the digital world.

This would come as a surprise to many that popular words like iPod, iPhone and iMac were surely coined by Apple, but 2 very popular words iPhone and iOS were originally thought by another huge computer company name Cisco. Cisco had actually owned the ‘iPhone’ and ‘iOS’ trademarks, long before Apple intended to use them.
According to Adam Lashinsky, the author of the new book “Inside Apple”, Jobs approached former Cisco executive Charles Giancarlo for the ownership of both names. The Silicon Valley-based Cisco and Cupertino-based Apple were never in the same market – while Apple has targeted single consumers, Cisco has always been into networking and enterprise. Therefore, Apple had no idea Cisco would have the name (“iPhone”) trademarked.
I would say its definitely worth giving this app a try. Usually costs $14.99, the developer says its Free for a limited time. Heres the App Store link.
