Mac Users Spend More on Travel

Orbitz told the Wall Street Journal that Mac users spend as much as 30
percent more on hotels than PC users do. Mac users were 40 percent
more likely to book a four- or five-star hotel than PC users. When
they do book the same hotel as PC users, they were more likely to stay
in a more expensive room.

IPhone and iPad users spend 17 percent more on mobile purchases than
everyone else, according to Forrester Research. And given that a Mac
is about three times more expensive than its Windows counterpart, it's
not surprising that an online retailer would want to try to figure out
what those customers like and offer them those options first.

QuickBooks POS is Integrated with GoPayment

Intuit has integrated its mobile payment processing application GoPayment with the latest version (2003) of QuickBooks Point of Sale (QuickBooks POS) software. The two solutions will now be able to communicate with each other, syncing both inventory and financial data from PC to mobile or vice versa.

QuickBooks POS software is designed for small retailers as tracking and management tools they need to effectively run their business. Retailers can track inventory and set automatic re-order points, manage customer's contact information and send personalized emails and gift cards, access business reports to get unique insight into how the business is doing, track employees' hours and pay commissions, and manage and monitor business results for up to 20 stores from one location.

A free GoPayment app comes with a card reader which plugs into the audio jack of an iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch as well as popular Android devices. Users can then swipe a card to process a payment, send an email or text receipt with a map of where the transaction took place, and automatically charge the correct sales tax using geolocation.
