The same question here. Anyone can develop and 3rd-party app to capture the PIN on the same screen from the payment app.

Afaik you should have PA-DSS to your app running on top of the Android OS that btw is not PCI. Just PA-DSS to your cloud services considering the architecture you are proposing is not enough. PCI-PTS to your hardware is another problem you are going to face in your certification because you are using a touchscreen 'pinpad'.

This device is insecure. It is going to take a long time to get the PCI/EMV certifications. Besides that how do you handle the certification of new applications running side by side with your payment application? Everytime you deploy a new application you should re certificate the entire stack, by the PCI standards. Nice concept, but you have a long road ahead before competing with VeriFone, Ingenico, PAX, Miura shuttle and others.

You are not PA-DSS or PCI certified. Where are the links to your letters of approval?

Yes, it is. I'm a serial entrepreneur who became a Yoga professor last year I can say that the author is totally equivocated in some points. He is judging something that isn't Yoga.

"Yoga removed from its spiritual context is just a kitschy low grade thing that may hurt you while taking your money."

As I yoga professor and a software developer I can say your definition is perfect.

awesome. congratulations guys. nice job! you are defying the status quo about some frameworks with numbers instead of ego talks.
amazing work man! I was thinking in creating something like that but with mruby. Lua is a good option too. It is a perfect fit to use with Angular.js

What is the difference between DNA and programming languages?What is the difference between DNA and poetry?"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research."A little tribute to "Why".
