Soon enough, you might not see those high-tech handheld billing systems in Apple stores. Our geek blog is here to tell you that something better is in the wind. Billing via iPod Touch!
OK, so the EasyPay devices aren’t all that high-tech…
Apple is already in the process of implementing a system that will use the iPod Touch, in combination with a credit card reader and barcode scanner.
This new iPod-based system is promised to be faster, smaller, and will not require a stylus. All these are definite pluses, especially due to the fact that multiple Apple store delays have been blamed on the pocketpc EasyPay system. This will also display “self-endorsement”, and gives customers the ability to see the iPod Touch in action in a commercial, high-speed environment. It will also be much more cost effective.
Apple’s plans are to roll out this new system for the 2009 Holiday season.
