posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
Google is testing out its Google Japan is putting three machines around Shibuya where s can hook up their Android mobile device and an app of their choice from the machine's touchscreen menu. The machines come loaded with 18 titles, some free, and others pay-to-.
If you don't have your own Android phone, the machine comes with a Nexus 4 to play on, but you have to return it when you're done. Employees will be stationed to make sure customers' questions are answered. Time is limited though and the machines will only be in place for ten days.
High tech and strange vending machines are a common occurrence in Japan. Three men were specifically for doll underwear, just in case all of your Madoka doll's underwear is in the wash.
Japanese company Meiji launched a series of talking vending machines that say phrases like "How is everyone doing?," "I am Anpanman!" and "Thank you! Please come and see me again!"
