It’s Friday, and we’re in a giving mood. You know what that means; it’s time to give something back to you! This week we’ve got a SmartSwipe for one of our lucky readers. What is this contraption, you say? It’s a credit card reader for your home computer. No, it’s not for taking payments at home, but rather for making your life a little easier (and safer).
The SmartSwipe allows you to enter your credit card information by simply swiping your card. No more trying to punch in 16 digits, just swipe it. This also helps protect against any sort of malicious keylogging software that may have infected your computer. Whether you’re worried about online security, or just want to make buying things online a bit easier, this could definitely come in handy.
We’re running this contest much the same as the others lately. If you’re in the US and want to get your hands on this, just drop us a comment below. Next Friday, a winner will be selected at random. Good luck!

What’s the interface? USB, wifi? Do websites offer support for this sort of thing?
This will make correspondence with my new friend from Nigeria SO much easier!

It's not fishtank friday, but what the heck

Avid online shopper….this will come in really handy and no more searching for my CCs
I love online shopping! I won't have to search for my CC's anymore
I do a fair bit of online shopping– but the kicker is I do a lot of it for my parents, who are uneasy about online security. Perhaps a thing like this will help put their minds at ease (after teaching them more about secure servers and how to know which are good).
Now to buy all of those foreign custards I've heard so much about.
Wow this will make it easier to buy things from OhGizmo advertisers. I'm in.
Wow, this will help me spend even more money!
Another interesting product…could be useful
I agree With firerock that this looks like an interesting product.
Yes please!
this sounds kinda fun since i do buy a lot of stuff online!
great way to get my wife to spend even more money online!
Hope gives off the sent of burning plastic if you use it more than once every five minutes.
I wonder if there is enough encryption and security to make sure hackers can't erase my credit card when I swipe it.
There is not much reason I need this, but I WANT IT!!
Nice thing! I enter my digits many times a week, this can make this task quicker, and certainely more fun and interactive! Thanks for your nice blog.
I don't consider myself lazy or paranoid enough to fear typing in my credit card every time I need to make an on-line purchase, but I would love this all the same.
Commenting for a chance to win goodies.
I hate keyloggers!
So awesome. with my azus 900 typing in those crazy cc numbers is next to impossible on these tini keys.
Yes, please. I love gadgets that clutter my desk!
Count me in please! Thanks. 🙂
