From just a glance, youd have no idea what they sell.

Why would they put the poster sideways so customers have to turn there heads to see what the kiosk is all about.]]>Aug 11th 2008 2:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/11/art-lebedev-opens-minimus-optimus-store-in-new-york/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/11/art-lebedev-opens-minimus-optimus-store-in-new-york/

Here are some other alternative ideas to the overpriced yet lovely Optimus Maximus:
You could purchase a few sets of X-Keys professional or X-Key 128 and insert under each key what ever picture you need for your application. You can buy a dozen X-Key Professional for the price of one Optimus. Buy more than one if you have multiple applications.

Cherry also makes keyboards that allow you to create your own keys and labels. Buy two and still have money left over for a new PC.

There are a lot of other alternatives, but Engadget won't let me post more than three URL's so I won't go in to any further detail.]]>Aug 11th 2008 3:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/11/art-lebedev-opens-minimus-optimus-store-in-new-york/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/11/art-lebedev-opens-minimus-optimus-store-in-new-york/Aug 11th 2008 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/11/art-lebedev-opens-minimus-optimus-store-in-new-york/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/11/art-lebedev-opens-minimus-optimus-store-in-new-york/]]>Aug 11th 2008 3:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/11/art-lebedev-opens-minimus-optimus-store-in-new-york/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/11/art-lebedev-opens-minimus-optimus-store-in-new-york/
They have seven others too, apparently.]]>Aug 11th 2008 3:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/11/art-lebedev-opens-minimus-optimus-store-in-new-york/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/11/art-lebedev-opens-minimus-optimus-store-in-new-york/
Though, why buy one decent-sized store, when you can get 8 for that price and increase your chances of sales. I like their thinking, too bad I can't imagine someone actually buying one from the kiosk.
