Need headphones for your next flight? That’s the question asked by USA TODAY’s Gene Sloan. If you are in search of headphones, you’re in luck if traveling through Indianapolis. "A snazzy new vending machine unveiled this week at Indianapolis International Airport has them (headphones), along with digital cameras, batteries, memory sticks, MP3 players, CDs, DVDs and all manner of other entertainment gizmos," Sloan writes. "Dubbed Sony ACCESS, it's the brainchild of electronics maker Sony, which is experimenting with new ways to sell its goods." The feature also will be tested at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport beginning this September and lasting through the end of the year. "Don't worry about not having enough quarters for the pricier items," Sloan says. "The machine takes only credit and debit cards." Says Sony's Chavonne Jones: "If the test is successful, we'll continue rolling out (more) in other venues, which may include grocers, more airports, malls and hotels."
