Most of the vending machines technology takes it's birth from Japan, the country who's not at all a stranger to these kind of electronic machines. And we here just don't talk about any technology, but Mobile Technology, yes that's what we're here for, and this new Google Play vending machines too have a same story to share like.
The new machines from Google Play, the digital application distribution for Android will be selling 18 different gaming applications, categorized in two, free and paid. How does this traditional vending buddy basically works from Google, Inc? To get it worked, you'll need an Android smartphone with Near Field Communication (NFC) enabled and running Android version 4.0 or above. Choose the game you want to download and place your selection on the giant screen of the unit, which will then send the selected app to your smartphone which is being rested on the machine's cradle with a few animations (similar to the drinks vending machines), where your handset will automatically start the download of the selected game via NFC.
Well if you don't have a required device, you needn't worry, the machine is too offering to deliver it's customers with a Google Nexus 4 to try out this new technology from the Japanese, which will then be recollected by the assigned Google employees.
