Get a Flash Drive from a Vending Machine

April 10th, 2007

Next time you get a hankering for a bag of chips and a Coke as you dash through the airport you may be able to pickup a flash drive right along with it. Kingston is putting vending machines into airports that will sell a line of the companies USB flash drives and SD cards. The machine should look real nice next to the iPod vending machine. Kingston says that people need SD cards and flash drives 24/7 so putting them in vending machines was the best way to offer that continual availability. There is no word on if a price premium will be attached for the privilege of the automated 24/7 access to memory products. However, if you are going on vacation and realize you forgot your memory card for your camera any premium is likely better than the wrath your wife will rain upon your head, trust me I know.
