Credit Card? You Got It: Verizon Offering Intuit GoPayment as Mobile Payment Solution

While the world awaits the era of mobile payments conducted without credit cards and via NFC chips within our smartphones, several interim solutions have popped up to make it easier to use our pocketable devices at the point of sale. One such solution is GoPayment from Intuit, which is now being offered in Verizon retail stores nationwide. GoPayment, in the same vein as Square, is designed to help small businesses and individuals process credit card payments using only a small reader device, a mobile app, and your smartphone.

Samsung i9220 might have 5.29-inch 720p display

Leaks in the tech world do not involve any form of water, but rather, they are juicy bits and snippets – which is why Samsung's i9220 handset has plenty of rumors to go along with it. It is said that this particular make will feature a 5.29″ Super AMOLED Plus display at 1,280 x 720 resolution. This certainly contradicts what earlier reports point to – which is a less than stellar 4.5″ size, albeit at the same 720p level resolution. Will it be 5.29″ or 4.5″.

Canada: Samsung Galaxy Q officially launched by Fido

We've known that the Samsung Galaxy Q was headed to Fido ever since last month, and now it's finally out. Following in the footsteps of Rogers, Fido has officially launched the Samsung Galaxy Q today. The Samsung Galaxy Q is a lower-midrange Android-powered smartphone that has a side-sliding QWERTY keyboard as one of its key selling points. So this may make a good first smartphone for someone who's into texting and/or emailing a lot.

Aside from the keyboard, the Galaxy Q also has 3.2-inch 320x480 touchscreen, a 3-megapixel camera with video capture, Wi-Fi, GPS, 100 MB of internal storage space expandable via microSD, and 7.2 Mbps HSDPA.

Gaming for the gold: Na'vi take the first International Dota 2 Championships title

Pay homage to the kings of the International Dota 2 Championships, Na'vi. These six Ukrainian studs won $1 million over the five-day tournament held at Gamescom, followed by China's Ehome, who landed in second place. The top eight teams competed bravely, so show some respect as follows:. Handing out over $1.5 million to the people who love your game enough to make it a career seems like a wonderful advertising strategy from Valve. Maybe eventually it'll be altered to include people who love Valve's games but have day jobs too. Maybe.
