Taking credit card payments with your phone? Is it true that you can actually do this with an iPhone? How do you do it? Do you need to buy anything? Can you use it in a business? Or, was someone just pulling my leg? :)

It is a small (1" square) device that plugs into the headphone jack. You can absolutely use it in a business setting. Better yet, if other people have the Square app, you can exchange money through the app without even needing cards at all.
I'm sure there are others on the market that I just haven't tested.
