Retail Outlets

These have been around a while, and this I saw at LAX.  In essence it is a candy machine for hi-tech electronics in the $50 - $500 price range: Sony PYP players, Apple goodies and Bose headphones.  You put in your credit card, push B7, and down drops an iPod touch.

This particular machine is branded Best Buy, but I've seen some merely generic versions, such as the one to the left of the Stockton street door of Macy's Mens in San Francisco. I note this to merely point out things change, and if these vending machines become the standard means for retailing hi-tech electronics in a certain price range, then whoever runs these is your customer.
