At the annual LeWeb conference in Paris today, Loic Le Meur interviewed Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey about Square , the mobile payment system he launched in limited beta in November. While the demo didn't quite work as expected - the Square dongle wasn't able to read Loic's credit card at first - we did learn a few more details about Square. Among other thing, Dorsey plans to launch an API in the future that will allow Square to connect to other financial systems and bookkeeping software. In addition, Dorsey announced that he plans to make the payment dongle available for free.

Le Web Kicks Things Off With Jack Dorsey

Dorsey is in Paris at the "Le Web - 2009" conference to announce additional details about Square, a pocket-size credit card scanner that attaches to an iPhone. Dorsey sees Square as making it much easier for people to make small-scale purchases, without having to use cash. Tomorrow morning, we'll look at tech from the opposite perspective.
