The iPod Vending Machine

I tend to associate vending machines with over priced chocolate bars at the local sports centre and not the latest technology gadgets, though I may have to change that point of view thanks to Zoom Systems who sell iPods via a vending machine.

Presently you can see (and buy from) the iPod vending machines in Atlanta and San Francisco airports, though many more installations are planned. I’m not sure how keen I’d be spending a few hundred dollars in a machine (what happens if it gets stuck) but for convenience it’s hard to beat. It accepts credit cards so you don’t have to feed it a bucket load of coins to make your purchase.
