iPad-Ready Shopping Carts At British Grocery Store

Sainsbury’s, a grocery store in the UK, is testing out new shopping carts that feature solar powered iPad docks. The catch, you must bring your own iPad.

The LA Times has more: “The trial, first rolled out at a Sainsbury’s location in Kensington, West London, will allow customers to watch live sports and sports-related news after docking their tablets to holders affixed to their shopping trolleys, the Telegraph reports. A built-in battery with a self-charging solar panel keeps the tablets from running out of power, and a sensor on the front bumper will beep if an engrossed shopper gets close to crashing into another cart.”
