Apple Revolutionizing Retail

Posted by Zonk on from the slick-very-slick dept.

conq writes "BusinessWeek has an interesting blog entry on Apple's 'iPod Express table', where they streamline the sale of iPods in their store. From the article: 'But the best part was that the Apple Geniuses behind the table had wireless gizmos for scanning credit cards, and Apple had worked out a totally wireless, paperless checkout process, called EasyPay. Once scanned, they advise you that the receipt will be in your inbox within an hour (since I'm already a registered Apple customer, they didn't even need to take my email or other information).'"

    "my partner had to get a minor problem fixed on his PowerBook."

    Was that before or after he rammed his cock in your ass?

    Whoa! What next? Anticipatory purchasing?

    You'll be able to order things wirelessly from your iPod when you get home. If Windows gets a cold, PC users will be able to buy repair tools through the iPod and use it as a recovery disc. There will be several repair options. If you answer "Yes" to "Do ya really, really, really wanna get rid of this problem?" it'll install Mac OS Xi and charge your iTMS account.
