Mobile Chip and PIN reader

I am thinking about expanding my small business to sales overseas. I would like to be able to accept physically present credit cards for payment. I have found this article about intuit's device that is similar to the Square device but it appears to be for iOS devices only. Does anyone know of an Android compatible mobile chip and pin reader?

Not much available as of now sadly due to the problem of securely handling PIN data. iZettle is one of the better C&P solutions, but IIRC it registers as card not present, so you bear a bit more risk even with the PIN.

Thanks for the reply. A little more 'research' yielded this article, which mentions the izettle offering as well as a few other solutions. Does anyone have any hands-on experience with these devices/accessories?

https://payleven.com/ offers a chip and pin reader for android, as does cardease at http://www.cardeasemobile.com

http://www.mpowa.com/page/Small+%26+Medium+Businesses is taking names for it's waiting list.

I have not used either, but they will may require you to do your merchant account from them, etc.
