You can buy music for your iPod at the
airport... use the WiFi hotspots and your
laptop! :)

Bintang: No, it doesn't. Each product is
"fetched from the shelf by a robot which
delivers the product to the output delivery
door", says Zoom Systems.

Every airport needs one. Perhaps they should
start putting them in schools, too.

So you buy an iPod. Don't you still have to
get music onto it somehow?

So what happens if the iPod doesn't fall
properly? Candy vending machines have a bad
reputation of eating your money. I hope they
at least fixed that problem with these.

Not to mention that iPods don't typically
come with a full charge out of the box.

rootlinux: they run windows embeded, so im
sure there's an exploit somewhere....
$250 is kinda more than a 65 cent soda
though.. im not sure they would just say "o,
it happens"

Maybe like with candy machines, if you shake
the machine, an extra IPod will fall and
you'll get 2 for the price of one.

maybe these are battery-powered ipods?

all ipods are battery powered.. or did you
mean disposeable/replaceable batteries...
because they only make ipods with built-in
non user replaceable batteries now, and as
far as i know thats how it always has been
nuttree: if i see one of this, im gonna try
that for sure

I just bought an iPod mini, where in the heck
was one of these so I wouldn't have to deal
with snooty Apple Store employees.
Brilliant!

So, does that mean if it steals your dollar
and you shake it you'll get a free one and
possibly two?

Humm
A vending machine for a $100-$200 product
does not sound appropiate, but it is
definately a good option if you forgot to buy
a present and all shops are closed because
you are taking a night flight...

People with credit cards and last-minute gift
voids to fill in the airport. I can't see why
anyone else would buy it this way!

This is wicked cool-- except that I saw it
there in February of this year and assumed it
was old hat, or else I would've taken a
picture too. I'm assuming there's only one
there - was it near the opening of the Delta
terminal (don't know which?!), with halls of
gates going left and right, a Hudson News
immediately next to the machine, and a hall
with coffee shops going straight back? (sry
can't remember any more details)
and actually, I think it's really, really
impractical (which doesn't hurt its coolness
:D ).

Great idea, but you buy an iPod but it's not
charged and empty of music. Hmmm..doesn't
make sense.

I wouldn't put $250 in an unattended machine
myself. Although, It would be cool if it had
some sample tracks that people could play
until they could fill it. Otherwise it's
kinda useless except for us g33ks who are
fully equipped.

Do you have to lay your towel over the drain,
put the satchel by the output delivery door,
put the mail on top of the satchel before you
press the button?
(ok, that was a really vague joke that only
a select few, if any, will get)

i doubt the point of this machine is to sell
ipods. what a great marketing idea...which
appears to be working!
Posted 37 months ago.

you should look at this less like a vending
machine, and more like a small shop. Apple
have here a place where they make money in
far less space than it would normally take,
also they have no sales staff to pay!
On the point of it coming uncharged and
with no songs, don't the ipods you buy in the
high st. come the same way?
Good on apple! The less hassle i have over
extended warranty's and "super cool" ipod
accessories the better... ;-)

My wife and I vacationed in Europe in 1993
and we saw an automated, robotic convenience
store. The items were behind glass and you
put the money in and directed (I can't
remember if it was like a claw machine or you
punched in the number of what you wanted but
it grabbed it for you and put it down a
chute.) It was in Switzerland, I think.
So it was only a matter of time...

when we installed it. Hand Trucks moved this unit in. Pretty cool concept.
Now they just need to lower the price.

They had something about this on the
Washington (DC) news a while back, and also
had it on thier website. The iPods are $10
and up, they're the first ones made, Apple
said to expect errors in them any day, cuz
they're not the kind you would buy at a REAL
store. like I said, they're de-fects, and the
batteries are for the AA conveter Charger. I
was actually expecting sscrash AT LEAST 2 kno
bout this 1 but i guess not. well, still,
the vending machine IS pretty tight n i
thought id jus steer u guys in the right
direction...
