I think there were a few "less accepted" models before that too. Every time I see one though it's a brutal reminder of yet another bus I missed. I don't feel as bad about this one though, as I actually had discussions with the only big time(at the time) cellular banking / money transfer service. (Even paypal hadn't jumped aboard that train yet). I remember the conversation heading to a "No way we are putting card readers into the general public's hands" territory. The main three worries were overhead and cost with routing transactions over wireless carriers, security, and the potential for easy spoofing of cards. I'd say that 2 of the three are still somewhat of a concern.
