Well I still won't be tempted to go there but I just have to say that this idea won't have me rushing back.
Magnacca’s solution is “Let’s Play!” a business plan designed to make
the retailer “a neighborhood technology playground.” Prototype stores
have a cleaner look, a change from the tangled collection of cables,
cords, adapters, and batteries that most customers associate with
RadioShack. Shoppers can connect their iPhones to a wall of speakers for
test drives, while sensors on the gear selected call up information on a
screen above. Five such stores reimagined for upscale, high-traffic
areas such as Manhattan’s Upper West Side are already open; 15 more are
scheduled to open by the holiday shopping season. The company plans
another 2,000 less-slick store redos (without speaker walls and
interactive features), starting in the New York area, New Jersey, and
Texas.
Why would you test drive your IPhone with some speakers and have some sensors call up information on some screen? It doesn't seem like something that I need to rush out and do. I guess it would be nice if you are in the market for an IPhone speaker but the idea of connecting my phone to some communal outlet just makes me leery.
