Q Busting at Apple stores

Appleinsider.com has a story about how Apple stores are using Pocket PC devices to reduce the Queues in their Apple stores. 

They use a system called EasyPay.

EasyPay is a paperless process, where customers provide a credit card and an email address to an Apple store Genius or employee when checking out. The customer's card is swiped through a scanner -- attached to a Symbol Technologies PPT8800 wireless handheld device (photo) -- and an email receipt is dispatched and delivered "within an hour."
