Wow, this is quite timely and interesting. For taab, we're faced with a similar problem, and one of our strategies was also to just give away a free tablet. However, we're targeting the market in a different manner. We'd rather not replace POS systems. Instead, we'd like to integrate with existing systems in larger, more established retailers. Think Starbucks, not your corner coffee shop. Moreover, since we're pushing the use of NFC, in our testing, it turns out that tablets don't really make sense. The only tablet with NFC right now is the Nexus 7 (the BlackBerry PlayBook 4G was just released and is rumoured to have NFC). On the Nexus 7, the NFC antenna is on the back like a smartphone, which doesn't fit with our UX model. We're not nearly at the same phase as GoPago. We submitted our application to the MintChip Challenge (http://www.mintchipchallenge.com/ http://www.mintchipchallenge.com/) last week. You can check us out at http://taab.co/ http://taab.co/.
