Square, a new payments device from the makers of Twitter enabling person-to-person payments via a mobile handset, is due to be launched in early 2010. There is a huge amount of hype around this release, but Ovum believes it is mostly unfounded.
Scope

* Discusses the pros and cons of the payment system in Europe and the US.
* Highlights the growth potential for Square payments for m-commerce.
Highlights
