does anyone know if this device supports the 'Square' card reader for credit card service? the reader plugs into the microphone.............

Yes, the Lenovo ideapad A1 works great with Square credit card processing. The only gotchas are that you must have a wi-fi hotspot nearby, and sometimes you have to wait on a GPS location lock for the transaction to go through. I have used this device to accept payments as a taxi driver for the last year.

This is not a card reader, so I would say no. That aside, mine never worked so I returned it.

Haven't tested it with "all" the brands available but so far it's worked very well with all the cards I use (mostly Sandisc)I'd also recommend the dock that holds 4 of the readers - being able to download 4 cards at once is a real time saver for me. If you were to have any problems it would probably be with older, non-brand name CF cards which weren't always made to spec.

Hey, Joshua...I use my Mic for voiceover work straight into my Ipad and track onto my basic-version Twisted Wave app. 'Wave is easy to use...check it out if you're not familiar with it. That's as much as I know. Thanks for mentioning those apps. I'm now curious and want to check them out. Good luck...Maybe call Sweetwater. They know a lot. marv g

I have a Square credit card reader - which is not made to allow for the thickness of an Otterbox protective case on my Iphone. I suspect the problem is the same with any other brand of credit card reader that is designed to plug into a cellphone. This cable lets me user the Square reader - albeit the little "dongle" reader wobbles around on the end of the cord. I simply put my cell phone on the table, and hold the reader in one hand while swiping a credit card with the other. The cable works for me with the Square reader, but your mileage may vary with another brand.

I have not been able to get the business card reader to work at all. Sorry I ever bought this one.

This won't work in my experience. It gets recognized but no matter what 3.5" microphone you plug into it, it won't recognize the audio for chat... have anyone really test it? I did and that was my experience

If I plug in with USB the device is not recognized. So I pull the card and there are no problems. (PC). If you record in 720 res, it looks really good on the screen. That and you can read license plates plainly at that res.

I am honestly not sure. I only use it for my square card reader on my ipad and iPhone. Sorry I am of no better help.

Sorry, I do not have the answer for you on this subject matter. I only use the adapter for my Square credit card swipe. It works well for the Square but blue tooth receiver, no idea. Sorry.

It is NOT a card reader. This is a combination of an usb to usb-mini adapter, and a pen drive. In fact there are three pieces: a cover for the mini end, the adapter, and a 32GB pen drive stuck in the USB end of the adapter. A real nice little package - just don't loose it!

This is a USB device - neither of those has a USB port. If you had some sort of adaptor, then, you'd need a driver for the reader that would run on your device. Unlikely you'd find that since neither has a USB port so not many people will be running this reader. There is a real lack of card reader support for mobile devices.

The "stock" answer: No. It is not designed for anything but Square Register. I will say this however as being an engineer I have taken many pieces of hardware in the past and make them work with something for which they were never designed to work. It is basically a stand that you can mount an iPad into. It powers/charges the ipad through the usb connection (nothing to do with Square Register) and has a few USB ports on the cable (mini hub). I have no idea how the mag swipe reader is communicating to the SR software on the iPad (assume simple USB HRD or Virtual Keyboard Wedge). My suggestion would be to hit one of the big search engines and type in Square Stand and SalesVu solutions and see if others have tried what you want to do. Hardware wise this is a VERY simple piece of hardware (basically a nice, clean USB charging stand with built in CC reader).

Yes it works flawlessly, it should appear as a speaker and microphone. I believe we only tested with gotomeeting, but it should work with all of those services the same

G. Powers,That is possible. Have you tried any other cards? I have not had any issues at all with this reader. If not try connecting the device directly to the computer, good luck my friend.

if you have an expresscard slot and speakers to plug it into. my microphone doesn't work, and this lets me have a microphone input.
