Apple May Sell Its iPod Touch POS System

Apple is considering selling its new iPod touch POS system which it developed internally for the Apple Store, according to an ifoAppleStore report.

The company has been flooded with inquiries about the system which features a custom designed shell and incorporates a barcode scanner and magnetic stripe reader. The hardware links to a customized software application that streamlines the process of taking payment by cash, credit, or debit.

Apple’s previous response to inquires has been that the system is a proprietary product, unavailable for sale.


However, tipsters have told ifoAppleStore that Apple retail executives have asked the retail store business specialists to collect contact information from anyone who inquires about the iPod touch system, apparently to create a database of potential customers if Apple decides to commercialize the product.

Its unclear whether Apple is considering commercializing just the hardware or their software as well.
