Makes me thing you could build a decent POS terminal out of a relativly cheap tablet though
 Square already does that, quite successfully. As in hundred dollar android tablet in an enclosure, not a 500+ dollar ipad with squares dongle(although said dongle would work on any tablet to my knowledge nothing special about a rfid sensor outputting via the mic in on a device) |

They are slow, have substandard touch screens to the point of unworkability, as well as old versions of Android. I have tried a few. Is there anything out there for $100 that is really usable on a long term basis? I have seen $300 tablets that are just fine though. |

In a few days time he'll announce that the trial was a huge success and that there are going to be bigger and better trials - all without revealing the company concerned. |
All I can say is that this is Bitcoin. I don't believe it until I see six confirmations.

I heard it from a reliable source that THIS IS THE PLACE:
Fuk mi, we now accept BitCoins, may I take your order?
Though, technically, I think the pronunciation would be "Whok me?" (I think fu sounds like who there) |

He has made legit connections within the Bitcoin communities. He is still a middle ground between parties it seems, and it will probably be that way for a while. |

Are you really expecting same performance of a 800$ tablet from a 100$ one???  Try comparing tablets of the same price, they will be better than the iCrap |

Folks, it's not happening. There was stupid banter on Twitter at the time, but it's all gone. That's because either everything fell through, or Bruce realized it was a troll and deleted everything.

If you believed Bruce on this, than let this be a lesson for you. Bruce is bad for Bitcoin, the longer he is around Bitcoin, the longer Bitcoin will suffer as a result.
