Apple is already using something similar (if not this device) in their stores. I noticed last week in the 5th Ave. Apple Store in NY that the guy had an iPod Touch with a card reader/barcode scasnner as opposed to the windows mobile devices they traditionally used for iPhone activation, etc.<p>He remarked it's apple's goal to move completely to these, as the WinCE devices suck. Pretty cool, although you've also just introduced a fantastic portable card skimmer :)
