Moving beyond candy bars to iPods, vending machines are offering another way to get stuff without dealing with a real person when you do not have time to go online. The Atlanta Journal reports that 300 vending machines rolled out to sell iPods are raking in high revenues. One in Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport that makes $55,000 a month. The AJ says: “The vending machines are user-friendly, providing easy-to-access product information through a video touch screen. And, unlike traditional retailers, they never close... The Hartsfield machines have created a buzz among travelers for dispensing a variety of iPods, but offer about 30 different electronic items, from headphones to rechargers, as well.”
What will be the next stuff offered? Here is a vending machine preview via You Tube and the If team.
