Coin-based vending machines look so boring when you compare the “uVending” machine from Samsung, unveiled at CES 2009. This sure is a great idea and definitely unique, especially when you know that the world is just busy making only mobile phones in different shapes and sizes, and a vending machine is probably the last thing on the list. The gigantic screen surely steals the show. Colorful ads, the super-cool GUI and the on-screen keypads make it even better.

This vending machine is also Wi-Fi and network enabled. Worried about vandalism? This baby also includes a shock sensor and a built-in camera to capture any potential vandals in the act. Awesome !
