James Keyes said selling digital content, including music, could provide a good growth opportunity as sales of portable gadgets such as Apple Computer Inc.'s."</i><br /><br />I think Mr. Keyes has been drinking to much sugar water if he thinks this idea is going to grow sales of portable audio devices. Why he think consumers would want to load up on music, and carbs, at a 7-Eleven is beyond me. Like I'm going to walk into one of their stores, buy a Slim Jim and a couple tracks of Yanni? :roll:

It's Slurpee. Take it from a self-proclaimed connoisseur. ;)

It's an interesting idea, but it will be years before something like this can happen easily.
