Habitat. Ipod Vending Machines

Habitat. Ipod Vending Machines: Convenience reigns supreme. The iPod vending machine proves profitable. It won't be long before we see more of these machines popping up. But, the bigger question is how long will it be before someone figures out how to break into one of them?

As reported by TUAW: "When I first heard of the whole buy-an-iPod vending-machine concept, I dismissed it as yet another bad idea that had to play itself out. I couldn't imagine anyone ever actually buying an iPod at one of these machines. Looks like I was way wrong... a single iPod vending machine sold a thousands of dollars worth of iPods in one month. A VP of Business Traveler Services is quoted as saying, 'We've done about $55,000 in a month in gross sales just for the one on Concourse A. This is becoming the future for some high-end products in places like airports where space is at a premium.'"
