I’ve always wondered if those iPod vending machines at airports and malls abroad really would work. I can plunk down P20 for a Coke Lite, but P18000 for an 80gb iPod? In a machine that might jam and not give me the iPod I bought? I’d rather entrust that sort of purchase to a brick-and-mortal establishment and deal with a flesh-and-blood sales person, thank you.

Well, here’s more reason to distrust the iPod Vendo. TUAW reports a reader by the name of Kris Haughton tried one out at a mall in the States and met with, horror of horrors, a BSOD. Huh? I’m not even going to comment on the inherent injustice of the situation.

All I can say is, caveat emptor!
