Indianapolis, Indiana – PhoneTransact is pleased to offer the Universal iOS Credit Card Reader. The new reader attaches to the dock connector on all iOS devices including the current and previous versions of the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.

The reader uses 3DES encryption to encrypt the cardholder data in the magnetic read head of the device, thereby enhancing PCI compliance as the cardholder data is kept secured until received by the credit card processor. The compatible iMerchant Pro application shows the first and last four digits of the credit card number along with the cardholder name so that the merchant can verify a good credit card swipe.

The credit card reader is powered by the dock connector, not the headphone jack for even more secure transactions. The reader and iMerchant Pro POS solution work together to enable merchants to accept credit cards using their iPhone, email and print receipts. This device is as an upgrade from headphone jack based solutions and offers premium security for the merchant.

PhoneTransact is offering a reader for free when opening a new merchant account. If you have an existing merchant account then you will need the PhoneTransact payment gateway or another decryption capable gateway in order to use this reader with iMerchant Pro.

PhoneTransact securely processes tens of millions of dollars a month in credit card transactions through its iMerchant Pro software system. PhoneTransact is an ideal solution for merchants that care about saving as much as possible on their credit card processing costs while maintaining security over their customers cardholder data.

Bellingham, Washington – Smart Box Design today is pleased to announce the chart-topping highly entertaining game Farkle Dice for iOS and Android has been downloaded more than 500,000 making it one of the most successful dice games available.

Farkle offers players an opportunity to challenge friends or compete against a variety of “intelligent” computer opponents with a wide range of personalities – from cautious to daring – that will determine the level of risk each opponent is willing to take when deciding just how far to push their luck.

Farkle is an enormously popular game throughout the world. Players roll a set of six dice for points and can continue rolling the dice as long as their roll continues to yield points. Any non-scoring roll is called a Farkle and the player forfeits their turn and any points accumulated during that turn. Like most games of chance and skill, Farkle’s attraction stems from players hoping to beat the odds and roll a high scoring combination.

Smart Box Design is known for the attention it places on both the playability and design of its games, and Farkle is no exception. There are very few dice games available for Apple iOS and Android with the quality and attention to detail that went into creating Farkle Dice. The game, which can be customized to accommodate regional rules, is extremely easy for users to pick up and begin playing upon installation. It is beautifully designed with the rich hues of a felt and wooden game-playing surface surrounded by a western theme.

Many games feature computerized opponents that are programmed with varying degrees of difficulty (smart, smarter, and smartest). Farkle, rather, comes with a collection of computerized opponents that are programmed to employ different strategies and take various degrees of risk when deciding whether to continue rolling for points – just like different people that Farkle players will encounter as they play the real dice game.

“We are delighted to bring one of the all-time classic dice games to the Apple iOS and Android Markets,” said Todd Sherman, Smart Box Design’s president. “Our version of Farkle provides mobile device users with a great game that can be picked up when they only have a few minutes to spare, but user beware – once the game is started, it can be very addictive!”

Farkle Dice is available either as a free ad supported app or without ads for 99 cents. Farkle Dice has been translated into French, German, Spanish, Japanese and Korean.
