iZettle, which in case you missed our previous posts is like a European version of Square that works with smart cards, scored a deal with Telia to make its credit card reader available across the operator’s shops in Sweden. The idea is to expand iZettle’s reach and make more iOS users (Android version is still not available) adopt this easy to use solution for accepting credit/debit card payments.
The iZettle card reader comes to the price of SEK 199 (about 22 EUR or $30) excluding VAT, and with a SEK 200 voucher toward iZettle transaction fees. The service requires no setup fees or monthly fees, and you will rather pay per transaction – 2.75% of the sale plus SEK 1.50 (0.15 EUR). iZettle will electronically deposits payments in the seller’s bank account the business day following transactions.
As a reminder, iZettle began commercial service in Sweden in October, and is now also available in Denmark, Finland and Norway. Needless to say, they’re eyeing the rest of Europe and will most likely expand to other markets later this year…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
