Macy’s Heads Back to Gadgets

I blogged a while back about Macy's plans to add kiosks to sell gadgets in its department stores.

Now (and I know you Macy's fans have been waiting for this!) comes plans for bringing back the Electronics Department! Yes, it hasn't been in Macy's since 1997, when electronics superstores (and less than stellar products, like Fisher audio) chased it away.

The plans call for a limited selections of electronics, including DVD players, iPod vending machines and other small gadgets.

For those of you who do remember, the new department will be "considerably" smaller than the old ones.

Macy’s To Add Kiosks: For Your Gadget Shopping Pleasure!

Remember the earlier blog about DVD kiosks?

(I hope so; it was only 24 hours or so ago ...)

Well, now Macy's is getting on the gadget kiosk bandwagon to make its "retail experience" even more interesting.

Macy's is planning to install self-serve robotic vending machines that will offer iPods and most likely other popular gadgets. The roll-out will be at 180 Macy's stores this fall (which is sadly not that far away).

You know, this is a good idea, but I still like touching and holding the gadget before I buy it -- wonder if the kiosks will have some sort of rubber gloves you can wear like in those scary laboratory sci-fi movies?
