Apple Store App In-Store Self-Serve Purchase to Start on Thursday?

Apple’s physical retail stores started out with a traditional checkout register format that created long slow lines during peak buying seasons. Then, the stores started using mobile checkout devices based on, ironically, Microsoft Windows CE. More recently, Apple Store staff switched to specially equipped iPod touch units to take payments from anywhere in the store. The next step, according to BGR, starts tomorrow (Thursday), Nov. 3, when anyone with an iPhone (or, presumably an iPod touch or iPad) can order items for in-store pickup using an updated Apple Store app.
