In another sign that you can get about anything you want in an airport, Kingston and N.J.-based MyMemory are offering USB flash drives and CompactFlash and SD cards via what’s believed to be the world’s first flash memory vending machine. The first MyMemory Digital Memory vending machine set up shop in London’s Gatwick Airport’s North Terminal, and additional machines are already planned for Heathrow Airport and London train stations. MyMemory is reportedly also developing relationships with SanDisk and Olympus, as well as
Sennheiser and Uniross, to join the vending
machine movement. According to Anne Keefe
Kingston’s sales director, buyers “want instant
access to SD cards and USB drives as they need
them 24/7, so vending machines in public
spaces was the most obvious solution.”
