You know you’re main stream when…

We all know how successful Apple has been with the iPod, and there’s been a lot of buzz lately with the iPod Nano and iPod phones. But on a recent trip to San Jose, I truly realized how much of a main stream phenomenon iPods have become. As I walked to my hotel room I passed a vending machine and saw…

iPod Vending 1 Thumb

iPod Vending 2 Thumb

So now you can get a soda, some candy, an iPod, a wireless card for your laptop, and even some deodorant all from the same vending machine — finally, a one-stop shop that meets all of the hi-tech business travelers’ needs. I guess they know their audience. I was definitely tempted, but managed to pull away without any extra gadgetry.

    Our society has truly reached Nirvana when one can buy a condom and an iPod with this much ease and convenience.

    i tried to buy iPod headphones from the machine they had at the Atlanta airport and it didn’t work!! The credit card thing couldnt connect to the bank. VERY annoying. They would have made money off of me sooo easily…it was definitely impulse buying at the time!
