OMWOW! Pocket-Lint has some red hot pix of the iPod Touch used in Apple Stores to enable on-the-spot check out. It’s a standard Touch with a barcode scanner and credit card reader but it replaces the old EasyPay systems from Microsoft they were using until now.
The Lint Boys only got three hot photos of the device because the guys at the Apple store were scared of getting placed into the special Education Room in the basement of every Apple store.
Theres some better photos and an in depth look at: http://www.macrumors.com/2009/11/03/overview-of-apples-new-ipod-touch-based-easypay-retail-store-checkout-system/
Definitely cool that they drink their own kool-aid.
I have to laugh that they were using anything from MSFT in their stores!
So how is the security on this can I still go walking about the mall and pick up the credit card info.
I have a great offer for all of you guys out there who just missed the chance to get an ipod touch from Apple. Check out bit.ly/5Tt2TG and get your own with 40% less than retail. Cheers!
