Sprint
Spint MiFi 3G Device -anyone have the 4G device? Is it worth it? any benefits?
· $69.22 credit card purchase
huyhong 4G coverage is still pretty shotty depending on where you are, but the speed differences are very noticeable, especially if you're loading large files (like photographs!)
hmcfletch How do you like your MiFi? The concept is awesome, but i haven't had a reason to get one.
DanMarinoPhoto I like it a lot - it definitely has connection slowness sometimes but not too bad for when I do need it. I first used it to set up my Bryant Park holiday shop to accept credit cards using iphones.

I have an iPad now and instead of getting the 3G version, I bought without a connection and use the MiFi to connect to it - the nice feature is that you can have up to 5 devices connected.
hmcfletch Is there a limit on how much data you can use per month?
DanMarinoPhoto 5GB but i think there is an unlimited one too

Swipe Credit Card Terminal App
i mentioned it a comment below - i think the name of these app is a little deceptive given that they do not actually have the swipe devices and could not commit as to when they would be available.

so it is another merchant account. i am trying to cancel the account as we speak.
· $0.99 app from iTunes
jedi whats the deal with this app? selling ur photos?
DanMarinoPhoto That was this plan but dont go for it... it is labeled swipe but they don't actually have the swipe devices! THis is for you iphone.

They open up a regular merchant's account which I didn't need because I use the paypal Virtual Terminal to plug in the numbers. The swipe device would have made it easier an error free, however there was no actual timetable when the devices would exist!

Go figure!
DanMarinoPhoto $ .99 and lessons learned!
huyhong You should probably sign up for squareup.com :)
DanMarinoPhoto thats what i thought i was signing up for which is another lesson - dont try to buy merchant apps late at night! Huy - do you use Square Up? My paypal virtual terminal works well but i dont like the $30 per month that goes with it!
