Mobile Credit Card
Processing, by
Merchant Swipe
Free It requires you to manually input the
credit card information into the phone,
rather than giving you a swipe reader.
More information is available at
www.merchantswipe.com.
Square, by Square
Free Square is a relatively new company
that’s been making a splash with its
payment system. Square officially
opened for business in October 2010.
FaceCash, by Think
Computer
Corporation
Free
FaceCash enables a purchaser to use
her phone for payments instead of
carrying a credit card. The purchaser
uses the app for payment. It shows the
merchant a picture of the true phone
owner’s face for security verification,
and no paper or plastic needs to
change hands. Both the purchaser and
retailer must have FaceCash accounts.
Finance
Android lends itself to personal-finance and
portfolio-management software. One example is
Google’s own Google Finance app.This app allows
you to track general stock direction, portfolios, and
financial news.
There are also many apps written specifically by
banks for their customers. You should always
double-check the author and read reviews before
downloading an app that claims to have been written
by your bank.
You’ll also find currency converters, MBA study
guides, and basic expense-management software.
See Table A–17 for a few apps that stand out either
by offering more features or superior look-and-feel.
