charge your battery here

i went to jusco kepong one day and discover this:

a machine looks like combination of public phone, vending machine, auto pay station for your parking ticket, download mp3 for your ipod & ATM.
i slowly approach to the machine and the answer is none of above.

it's a huge handphone charger!

the step is like...

1)remove your batter

2)press open/close button

3)key in 4 digit password

4)insert the battery into slot

5)press open/close button

6)insert coins of rm1.50 and start charging

7)redeem your battery 20mins later by repeating step 3.

this is something new for me.

but i wonder there's any business opportunity for this machine.

they probably don't know mobile phone vending machines is common nowadays.

first launch on 2005 at UK, we probably not going to see this machine at malaysia in 20 years time.
