Introduced in early 2010 by Square Inc., the Square application is available for the iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and Android-based mobile phones. Square was co-founded by Twitter creator Jack Dorsey and Jim McKelvey. Dorsey called VeriFone's claims "neither fair nor accurate", noted that the card data could be gathered visually from the card, and said that the claims ignored the fraud protection provided by card issuers.
At the TechCrunch Disrupt conference in May 2011, Square announced the release of two new apps, Card Case and Register. Card Case allows customers to view merchant menus, do mobile payments, receive virtual receipts, and discover other Square-enabled merchants. Square Register is point of sale software aimed at replacing traditional credit card terminals and cash registers.
