Square announces Register for the iPad

Square, the popular company behind those cute little credit card dongles for your iPhone, has just released Register, an iPad application that is taking direct aim at replacing the clunky cash registers of yeasteryear that still dominate the retail scene.

While the application looks and feels much like the original Square iPad application, Register will include more point of sale based tools, including deeper analytical tools for store managers. Managers will immediately have access to payment, tax, refund, and account deposit information. Square is attempting to give small to medium businesses the same toolsets that major box retail stores currently employ.
