God forbid you be at the gas station using a Windows CE-based pump, but if you trust it, go for it. Company Dresser Wayne is manufacturing a gas pump dubbed the Ovation(R) iX dispenser. The idea is that the pump will be connected to the internet, and in states where you don’t have full-service, you will be able to pay and order coffee from the pump, check news, weather, stocks, and even run express diagnostics on your car to make sure you don’t need an oil change or anything similar.

You’ll even be able to print coupons out apparently for later use in your Quik-E-Mart. Just don’t come crying to us when CE gets a FATAL ERROR and makes your gas tank explode.
