Remember iZettle, the smart card reader we talked about couple of months ago? Well it is now available in Sweden in limited numbers. The first 2,000 folks who downloaded the free iZettle app and registered will get the device while the rest of the country will have to wait a little longer. Then, once proven successful, the company will undoubtedly roll-out its neat accessory across Europe.
Unlike Square which plugs into the iPhone’s headphone jack, iZettle takes advantage of the dock connector. It’s also a bulkier device than Square which is kinda expected considering that it reads the smart card’s chip content.
We’re eager to see whether iZettle has what it takes to compete in the ever growing mobile payments market. Bringing its accessory to the Android smartphone market is the obvious next step forward and we’re sure they’re working on such a product as we speak. We’ll definitely be watching the whole mobile payments ecosystem and get back to you as soon as something new comes up. Stay tuned…

The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him.

USA Solar and Digital Communications Technologies LLC, aka Muzatch, gives the iPhone its much needed battery power boost, by developing the world’s most powerful and smallest (9.8 oz) solar power station specifically for the Apple iPhone series as well as the new Smartphone, iPod and Nano.
With over 95% of all Americans using mobile phones and laptops, and over 40 million iPhone users, losing power can be very frustrating, especially when an emergency hits of any kind. Solar energy will be the best and only way to continue to operate and communicate with the various emergency agencies as well as family and friends.
Millions of Americans use the iPhone currently and so it was the first choice for developing the initial solar charger. We are currently designing other solar chargers for several additional types of mobile phones, such as the “BlackBerry,” which will be coming in the near future.
