A month after launching its payment system in Canada, Square is bringing its Mobile Card Reader to major electronics retailers in the county. Small businesses and individuals looking to accept mobile payments can visit a local Apple, Best Buy or Futureshop store and secure their Square unit for just $9.99. To make for a sweeter deal, Square will issue you a $10 rebate, effectively making the device itself a freebie.
As I’m writing this, Square has 3 million active users and has processed some $10 billion in mobile payments. That said, we’re sure that “adding Canada to the mix” will further help Square grow, and that we should expect further expansion to other markets in the near future. We’ll let you know when hear something new on that front. Stay tuned…

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.
