Download MP3's to your Phone While filling up your Car
7 January 2006 by axxxr Unveiled at CES today a new Windows CE-powered Petrol Pump that also dispenses MP3 files to download.Called the Ovation iX, the pump also lets customers buy junk food and coffee from the station,check traffic conditions,watch video commercials and more.
A new member of the Microsoft Windows Program, Dresser Wayne will showcase its new Ovation(R) iX dispenser. Powered by the iX(TM) Technology Platform,the dispenser will offer consumers an unprecedented level of convenience and choices that extend far beyond simply selecting regular or premium fuels. "Very soon," says Dan Harrell, Dresser Wayne's senior director of marketing and product management, "you'll be able to stop for gas on your way to work and without ever leaving the pump buy a cup of coffee and a lottery ticket, download an MP3, and check up-to-the-minute traffic reports. The dispenser itself will be able to run a quick diagnostics report on your car, alert you when it's time for an oil change, and even print out coupons for the lube shop down the street." If it sounds far-fetched, Harrell says, think again. iX Media, a standard offering in the Ovation iX dispenser, allows consumers to watch full-motion, site-specific video commercials right on a dispenser-integrated 10.4-inch color display, with built-in speaker. Fuel customers can print customized coupons at the dispenser for in-store specials and other retail promotions. And that's just the beginning, says Neil Thomas, president of Dresser Wayne, one of the largest business units of Dresser, Inc. www.wayne.com
