Yes, the terminal does have a ton of features, but some like USB ports aren&#8217;t able to be used by the majority of peripherals. The original $200 tag was low enough that it made the terminal worth the cost despite the drawback of being proprietary. I imagine that the $500 version is going to be much more difficult to push into the marketplace, when terminals like the Omni 3750, Hypercom T4100 and a few Nurit terminals have the same features, at a lower price, and they can be used with any processor.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.merchantequip.com\/merchant-account-blog\/archives\/184\">The original FD100 post<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Originally First Data released an initial price of the new FD-100 terminal to be around $200.
