The US Postal Service is testing Mobile
Point-of-Sale (mPOS) Technology:-
The Postal Service is going mobile. They tested a new point-of-sale technology
over the busy holiday season and they say they processed more than a 100,000
transactions. Postal workers can scan and accept prepaid packages or sell
stamps and other products before customers ever make it to the counter. The goal is to cut down on the time customers
spend waiting in line for most routine transactions. The
new technology is called Mobile
Point of Sale (mPOS), and uses a modified iPod Touch and portable printer to
"scan and accept prepaid packages, scan package pickups as delivered, or
sell stamps, ReadyPost and other retail products." It'll also spit out
Priority Mail flat-rate postage.
