iPhone Gets a Credit Card Reader

The Mophie Credit Card scanner may just be the perfect solution for mobile business users looking to charge cards on the spot, without the need for very much additional hardware or for users to scan their cards on mobile sites.

While full details haven’t been revealed at this time, it appears that the unit will feature a hardware scanner built for iPhones that protrudes from the bottom of the users phone, cards can then be scanned and used in whatever fashion Mophie comes up with (iPhone API restrictions considered).

Mophie will officially reveal the unit at CES 2010 next week in Vegas where we’ll be in attendance and take a closer look. [Gizmodo via SlashGear]
