Erick recently got a sneak peek at Intuit’s GoPayment app for the iPad, a mobile payment app that lets anyone who sells a product or service get paid on the spot by processing credit cards.
This morning, the company announced that the iPad app is now available.
The GoPayment apps brings a new layout that takes advantage of iPad’s large, high-resolution display and multi-touch interface. It also includes new features such as the ability to add product photos.
GoPayment is compatible with the free Intuit Credit Card Reader.

Square has its own iPad app, which has been available for over a year.
