Walt Mossberg – Apps Raise the iPad’s Aptitude for Real Work
It’s already pretty straightforward to set up a Square account, but the company wants to streamline the process of registering with its app even further.
Today, the company is launching “Business in a Box” — a package that includes a cash drawer, an iPad stand, card readers and an optional printer for printing receipts. It costs $299 for the readers and cash drawer, and $599 if you include the printer.
Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Web Sites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other Web sites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
