Product: Side Swipe II

Company: Semtek Innovative Solutions Corp.

Semtek's third release in a series of mobile-commerce swipe readers is the Side Swipe II, a three-track magnetic stripe card reader that turns mobile phones into point-of-sale terminals.

Semtek says the Side Swipe II can be used with virtually any mobile phone. It connects to the phone via a serial port and has a printer port if a merchant needs to attach a printer to print receipts. The product does not require additional batteries.

The Side Swipe II was designed for merchants that work in "on-the-go" industries and need to accept credit cards for payment when out in the field, such as taxi and limousine drivers, delivery service drivers, construction companies, door-to-door services and merchants at fairs.

The product has two features that will be especially appealing to mobile merchants - a belt clip and a car mount kit.

Semtek also offers magnetic stripe card reader solutions for PDAs and hand-held PCs.
