I'm a big fan of Square. Just came across this European competitor. The device itself looks a little bulky. However, they're demo video is awesome. Big ups to whoever created this for them.

I'm at Sightglass Coffee in the city, Jack Dorsey's coffee bar. Very cool space. Still under construction but should be open in a few weeks.

What was even more cool was the Square integration at the register. Since this was my first time here, I did the Square swipe. Nothing new, works fine. The really cool part was what happened after. I was prompted to download the Square Wallet which allowed me to add Sightglass as a "card". When I went to order a pastry, I didn't have to swipe my card again. They had me in their list of customers at the store (probably GPS based) and then I put it on my tab. How cool is that? I imagine when Square is at more of my most frequented stores, I would never have to pull out my card again. They just bypassed the whole NFC hoopla.

Now just gotta find people to charge!
