Regardless, we fantasize about it all the time but never expected this iPhone payment dongle to be first from the litter. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/tag\/square\">Square<\/a> is Jack Dorsey&#8217;s (Twitter co-founder) new startup that now has Kevin Rose (Digg founder) on board as an investor and YouTube pitch man for the prototype payment device that plugs directly into the iPhone&#8217;s headphone jack. We&#8217;ve covered Square before but this is the first video that clearly demonstrates the full capability of the credit card swipe system on a live device. A compelling proposition for receiving cashless payments if you&#8217;re a small business owner looking to exploit irresponsible credit card debt or just the average Joe hocking goods at a garage sale, farmers market, or Craigslist. Assuming of course, Square&#8217;s cut of the transaction isn&#8217;t too egregious.
