bearla.com — This weekend, in Atlanta's airport, I happened across an Ipod vending machine. If you have a credit card, this vending machine will spit out a video ipod, a nano, a shuffle, or any number of accessories to go along with it. There was a crowd of geeks surrounding the machine just gawking in the clever marketing of our dear friends at apple.

As if Apple didn't already overprice Ipods, I can only imagine how much they would cost in an airport. And yes, this is rather old.

It's an old concept in a new place, so not truly diggworthy.

Hmm, Zoom Shops remind me (a little) of Happy Dragon shops in William Gibson's "All tomorrow's parties.":-P

I've dropped my iPod off my trampoline, in the air, and when I found it it was still playing.

The same can also be found at Macy's in San Francisco!! When you think of Macy's...think Apple products??

My immediate thought about this was for gifts. I can think of a few scenarios, but for whatever reason that popped into my head.

Hey Dognose thanks dude! I was doing a search on our company and found this...We don't sell iPod's but on a flight you just have to entertain yourself and if it's a budget carrier hell yeah, that's where our inflatable sheep and vibrating c**k rings keep cabin crew entertained for hours. :) Jeez just screwing with ya' all but if you'd like to know more about us do a search for Naughty Vend on Google or Yahoo.
