Hi Pratik
we want the card swipe. On the ipad have found MagTek that works through
the power plug so now Voice over works without an audio jack splitter.
Will check out Square... alas they don't have a card reader that doesn't
use the audio jack.
I am looking at android, talkback and audio jack issues now.
