@pos Provides POS Software for Apple Stores

From an @pos press release, "@pos, a leader in secure, interactive electronic transaction technologies, today announced that they would be providing the Apple Stores, the retail chain stores of Apple Computer, Inc., with Internet-capable iPOS TC terminals for credit and debit transactions, signature capture and interactive customer display. Apple is currently installing iPOS TC terminals in each of its Apple retail stores nationwide. The terminals directly interface to Apple's innovative iMac computer running a customized point-of-sale (POS) application. Apple Store customers can swipe their card through the iPOS TC and enter their personal identification number (PIN) for debit payments, sign their name for credit transactions and see items being purchased. Customers have had a positive response as evidenced by postings on Mac user Web sites about the new devices. The iPOS TC terminal and its advanced functionality fits into the image that Apple wishes to provide customers during the Apple Store shopping experience. Apple will also utilize the @pos posPortal color transaction software complete with the Apple look and feel." [Business Wire]
