What's to stop somebody from stealing this right off the counter and gaining access to customers' data?
This is the first EMV payments terminal I've seen that allows PIN entry using a touch screen. Is that really allowed by EMV, as a tamper-evident PIN pad?
One of my concerns is that it appears the door to change the receipt roll is on the bottom of the device. Does this mean I have to shut the device off and flip it over if it runs out of receipt paper to print a receipt for a customer?

I like how the first guy puts his card in, takes it out AND THEN punches in his PIN, which is exactly how PIN & Chip doesn't work. I would have hoped they'd at least be familiar with the process.
It looks to me like a mobile computer strapped to a terminal. I'm not sure why this is better than having a terminal + iPad or something similar but I'm not the target demographic.
I see many other issues with it:
- Hardware development is hard and long. This looks to be little more than a physical mock-up. For example datasheet lists "Ethernet" is connectivity options but there is no ethernet port visible on the body.
- BLE & GSM antennas are exactly where you wouldn't put either of those. Here is tip: You can't put an antenna behind an LCD. They have metal backings.
- Shouldn't QR & Barcode Scanner be pointing UP? You have very limited field of view when it is pointing down.
- Getting EMV and FIPS certified are going to take a long long time. Granted they could buy that firmware off the shelf to accelerate the process.
Anything to keep the mass from ditching the plastic, cause when that happens, VISA, MC and co are in jeopardy.
Interesting merchant terminal -- but it seems to be little more than a pretty rendering and physical mock-up right now.

The video was produced with a cosmetic device and with actors. You're right that the card has to be in the device during PIN entry. The scene you're referring to, however, is depicting tip entry.
The device does not have an ethernet port but we will be shipping with a separate charging dock that will provide wired connectivity.
I can assure you that all of our antennas are not behind LCDs. While compact, the device does have a number of non-LCD surfaces.
The customer facing camera is pointing horizontal. We'll continue to refine the angle (if needed) as we continue testing with our early adopters.
We did in-person demos with over a dozen news agencies. If you have any doubts about the existence of the device, please feel free to reach out to them for confirmation.
