They've had one of these for a long time in the Macy's at the Queens Center Mall. Personally, if I was dropping $250 bucks on electronics I'd probably not want to get it out of a vending machine. But whatever...

Saw one at a Ground Round in Duluth at some point while Bush Sr. was president.

Sorry, Gothamist! You are a bit behind the times. They have had one of these in the Macys in West Hartford, CT since it was still Filene's like 2 years ago.

This is news? They've had this at the Downtown Brooklyn Macy's since last year.

I've seen these in the Atlanta airport as well. It seems weird that a digital camera or an iPod might be considered an impulse purchase for some. Although if you're going on a long vacation and you realize you forgot your camera, I can see how this would be handy.

Will the IPods get stuck, like the candy bars do sometimes? www.forgotten-ny.com
