Title: [ANN] BitPay Tablet point-of-sale now working in San Francisco Post by: BitPay Business Solutions on October 16, 2012, 08:30:09 PM Cups and Cakes Bakery in San Francisco now accepts bitcoins!
They are already using an iPad point-of-sale, they added bitcoin and BitPay for zero additional cost.

Or is it a web app, or one that requires a jail break? This would be a very exciting breakthrough, given that the credit card machine is starting to get displaced by headphone jack credit card readers for mobile devices. How convenient that iPad and iPhones already have a QR code scanner built in, and could also be made to accept paper bitcoins and bitcoin gift cards.

Right now it's just a large screen version of our Mobile Checkout. But we will add new features to it soon. The banknotes are something we would like to support. No extra scanner required!

So it avoids the whole Apple censorship issue for those merchants who wish to use Apple products as their POS.
