The Apple Store's New Checkout System

Apple is beginning to release a new checkout system for its retail stores. The system will consist of an iPod touch combined with a plastic shell which includes a barcode scanner, magstripe reader and an extra battery to power the equipment. New software will be used to run the device, and will allow store employees to carry out transactions with a lightweight and handheld system.

The previous checkout system employed at the retail stores consisted of handheld computers running Windows CE. But this system suffered from frequent problems. The new system, running iPhone OS 3.0 which allows use of third party accessories with the software, is much more reliable.
