Got 796 Quarters Handy? Get Yourself an iPod

YOU WANT AN IPOD? It's over there-in the vending machine next to the Gatorade. Since debuting in Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport last April, iPod vending machines have been pop-ping up in malls, hotels, and grocery stores across the country.

The vending machines are built by San Francisco's Zoom Systems, which sells many other products through the units, including digital cameras and snacks. But the iPod has quickly become the number one seller, says Rick Cusick, Zoom Systems' executive vice president of merchandising. "It seems to unleash an incredible impulse opportunity." he says. "You can walk up and buy an iPod in 20 seconds."
