For A Fee? Switching your AT&T iPhone to Verizon
We felt this coming! And it only makes sense considering AT&T’s shoddy cellular service. Verizon may very well be the iPhone’s chance at a fresh start — without all the dropped calls.
(CNNMoney) — If you’re one of the estimated 2.5 million iPhone customers looking to switch to Verizon next month, you’re probably furiously pounding away on your calculator to see if defecting is worth the money.
Square for Mobile Phones Can Revolutionize Payments
Twitter’s co-founder Jack Dorsey, has launched a new company, Square, which enables people to take credit card payments through their mobile phones (the iPhone application will likely cost only $1). The product is aimed at cutting out the need for merchant accounts with the likes or Visa and Mastercard, but is also intended to allow individuals exchanging money. The company is called Square because the small plastic device which is plugged into the bottom of the iPhone is a white plastic square with a small jack attached. The technology will be easy to use and is scheduled to roll-out early 2010.
