We've seen our fair share iPhone-based credit card payment systems, but we both know that those aren't the only handsets people do business with. ROAMpay from QuickPay Merchant Services is a device agnostic card swiper with apps available for iOS, Android, and BlackBerry. Actually, it seems to be a virtual cash register as well, letting you log cash transactions (and generate receipts for 'em) as well as offering real-time authorization for Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express (as long as you have a QuickPay account, of course). Ready to get into business? Hit up the source link. Otherwise, we have a fantastic video (and some pretty swell PR) for you after the break.

Mushroom announces durable PortaBella wireless bonding device, continues adorable naming scheme

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/08/mushroom-announces-durable-portabella-wireless-bonding-device-c/

It's okay if you've never heard of wireless broadband bonding. The technology hasn't exactly caught on, even if it gets us all excited in our download place. The basic idea is to take a suite of wireless broadband adapters and plug them all into a single router, aggregating their power like shotgun modems did in the dial-up days. Mushroom Networks is the leader in this space and it has announced a new, "heavy duty" version of its PortaBella bonding device, joining its Porcini and Truffle models. The new PortaBella combines the connections of up to four wireless modems, even from different carriers, and works at temperatures ranging from 4 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit -- which sadly doesn't quite meet the extremes experienced on an average day at the Engadget Lunar Outpost. It seems our heavenly bloggers above will have to keep sharing that single modem for now.

Quo's latest Mac clone to feature Asetek liquid cooling, Core i7

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/08/quos-latest-mac-clone-to-feature-asetek-liquid-cooling-core-i7/

We just got off the phone with Quo Computers founder Rashantha De Silva. Remember him? Last spring, amidst all the hoopla surrounding Psystar and Apple, he announced the opening of a walk-in Mac clone shop in The Golden State. Since then, Psystar may have bitten the dust, but it looks like De Silva and co. are still in business... for now, anyway. Their newest (they haven't even had time to update the website), the Quo maxQ2, will feature an Intel Core i7 3.6GHz CPU, 12GB of RAM, a 240GB SSD, a 1TB HDD, and an Adobe Mercury Playback Engine-compatible NVIDIA 285 GTX GPU. In addition, this bad boy will come equipped with an Asetek liquid / copper cold plate cooling system, and believe it or not, it'll run OS X, Linux and Windows 7. Prices start at $3,765, and it should go on sale starting September 15. For about 18 minutes, or an hour and 18 minutes if Apple's lawyer crew just so happens to be at lunch.

[Thanks, John Mayer (really!)]

Eye-Fi starting up a developer program, will have some APIs open for business this fall

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/08/eye-fi-starting-up-a-developer-program-will-have-some-apis-open/

Pardon us as we coin the term "apportunity" to describe the upcoming developer program Eye-Fi has just announced. Developers will able to tie their apps / applications / sites into Eye-Fi features and services through the web, including accessing an Eye-Fi card for photos and video, changing settings on the card, and uploading to online sharing sites through Eye-Fi channels instead of directly connecting to each site. It all sounds very promising in a niche, people-who-use-WiFi-SD-cards sort of way, and we look forward to the results as Eye-Fi starts giving out API keys in phases, beginning this fall.

Source: http://lifehacker.com/5632170/bugmenot-lite-is-a-chrome-extension-that-provides-anonymous-login-credentials-with-a-click

If you don't want to bother signing up for a site to gain access, there's not need to visit anonymous login sites. BugMeNot Lite takes care of that for you, providing multiple credentials with just a click.

BugMeNot, a Firefox favorite, has now come to Chrome. It lives in the omnibar and shows up on account login screens. It automatically detects where you are and clicking it's icon (or, alternatively, pressing Control + I) will automatically fill in the login and password information for you. For logins, you'll be able to choose from a list and each will have a percentage next to it that will show you how successful the credentials have been. After a successful or unsuccessful login attempt, you can report the results through BugMeNot to help keep the feedback up-to-date and accurate.

BugMeNot Lite [via #tips - Thanks purveyoroffoma!]
