Alas,..
it is most unfortunate that 1) I only knew about SalesVu now and 2) I a, moving out of the US to the UK in a few weeks. I am in the market for a mobile POS for my business but one available in Europe. But on the bright side, I have found great alternatives that are in some ways better than the big name brands. If like me you are also looking for a great mobile POS system available outside of North America, you may want to check out mPowa (www.mpowa.com) which is launching in Europe very very soon - according to their site.
