Press C9 for an iPod Shuffle

Skittles and Dr. Pepper are two of my favorite vending machine treats, but imagine a vending machine that feeds...iPods? Yes, you heard me right, iPods, along with digital cameras, earphones, and video cameras. All are available in the new electronic vending machine found in Macy’s. The machines, called Zoom @ Macy’s, are a product of Zoom Systems of San Francisco and have been released in over 180 Macy’s around the country. The machines are equipped with a touch screen that allows customers to browse pricing and then pay with a credit card, before an robotic arm grabs the product and safely delivers it. Although a much bigger impulse buy than a bag of M&Ms, these iPod products come calorie free. Enjoy!
