One of the hottest topics at this year’s National Retail Federation conference was mobile point of sale<\/a>. \u00a0Whether offering customers the convenience of self-checkout or providing a higher level of personal service, it appears the days of lining up at the cash wrap are numbered.<\/p>\n

I caught up with the team at Global Bay<\/a>, a pioneer in the field of mobile P.O.S. for a first-hand look at their mobile solution. \u00a0Some of you may remember Global Bay for their unassuming but impressive YouTube product\u00a0demo about a year ago,\u00a0in which\u00a0they convert an iPod touch into a working retail checkout.<\/p>\n
