iZettle comes to Android for a few lucky Swedish Samsung owners

[![iZettle comes to Android][1] ][2]

[Square][3] gets most of the media hype, but without an international presence, would-be competitors have had a chance to carve out their own niches in the mobile commerce market. Sweden's [iZettle][4] has managed to make [quite a splash][5] in its homeland, and it's expanding its mini empire by finally bringing its wares to Android -- albeit in an extremely limited form. Unless you've got a [Galaxy S III][6], [S II][7] or a [Note][8] then iZettle still isn't for you and with availability in a single Nordic country, it might seem more accurate to describe Android support as being in beta, but the company has ditched the testing tag regardless. Rest assured, however, it is actively working to add more handsets and export the app beyond its [particle board-loving][9] borders.
