yes and some are popping up in malls and some versions are hackable so that you don't have to pay .... I still think it's useless unless at a gas station you could look up a map of the lowest prices in town ... at the airport you could book a flight (why you wouldn't do this first beats me.... and at the mall you could get an up to date irectory because those big mall directory signs they have are never up to date...

but in the end it's a rip off ...most have a high speed connection to the net ...ussually that 40 buck for a home user 200 for a company... ok so 200 dollars for the connection ...1 buck = 5 minutes 31 days in month = 744 hours = 44640 minutes = $8928 revenue = 8728 dollars profit... I think I'll get some of those machines wow.....
