Apple is already using something similar (if not this device) in their stores. I noticed last week in the 5th Ave. Apple Store in NY that the guy had an iPod Touch with a card reader/barcode scasnner as opposed to the windows mobile devices they traditionally used for iPhone activation, etc.
He remarked it's apple's goal to move completely to these, as the WinCE devices suck. Pretty cool, although you've also just introduced a fantastic portable card skimmer :)

A bit clunky due to small manufacturing runs (no ability to super-shrink and amortize expensive R&D over millions of copies).
