Dallas/Fort Worth was first and as of September 1st Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Minneapolis and San Francisco will all be getting their own. The machines will sell a variety of electronics and accessories including phones, cameras, portable data storage devices, headphones, travel adapters, and electronic chargers.
