Square Card Case update brings hands-free payments with iOS 5 geofencing.
Square just pushed out quite an interesting update to their Square Card Case that we told you about back in August when it was first released. Taking full advantage of iOS 5′s geofencing capabilities, the updated app can now establish a tab at your favorite retailers when within a virtual boundary of 100 meters, essentially allowing for a frictionless, hands-free payment experience. Imagine walking by your favorite retail shop and a tab with your name is automatically opened on the merchant’s Square app for iPad, just in case you happen to stop in and make a purchase.
If you do stop in to make a purchase, the merchant can authorize the payment using a credit card or debit card already linked to the Card Case app on your iPhone. If you don’t stop at the shop, the tab will automatically be closed once outside of the 100 meter range. Square director of product Megan Quinn had this to say about the new update in an interview (via Wired): Siri Hack Seemingly Opens Door To Endless Possibilities And Custom Voice Commands.

Similarly, the hackers are just as keen to exploit such holes in the system, removing the iron-fist clutches of the fruit company’s closed-source software. Those in favor of options and freedom tend to celebrate such achievements, and as standards have raised, so has expectation, and all concerned with jailbreaking & Cydia wait on tenterhooks for the next untethered jailbreak. The inquisitive Aman Gupta, otherwise known as @tmm1, has discovered an way to add custom Siri commands, starting with integration with github’s Hubot.
