Engadget: Taxi kiosks that charge your card and show you ads
Paul Miller writes in Engadget:
There’s something inherently perverse about getting served up ads by a Linux box, especially after it just took your money, but such is the case for some new kiosks planned for taxis in NYC and elsewhere.
Verifone and TaxiTronic have teamed up to provide a credit card reader that can verify payments over cellular networks, and when it’s not busy with that, it will download and display “multimedia ads” for your viewing pleasure—lucky you. The device also covers other cab duties such as cab sign-in, and GPS navigation.
