Cell Phone and iPod vending machines

Bottles of mineral water and cans of Coke are making way for iPods in vending machines installed at the world's busiest airport, Hartsfield-Jackson International in Atlanta, according to the Travel section of the Times Online.

"The airport's Zoom Shop machines sell iPod minis and Shuffles as well as digital cameras, photographic supplies and batteries.

The machines are the work of San Francisco-based Zoom Systems, which calls them "robotic retail stores", and it has installed them in around a dozen airports, including Hartsfield-Jackson and San Francisco International. It has also installed similar machines in branches of car rental firm Avis, stocking mobile phones and headsets".
