| 1 | 3571 | 2004 | Earlier this year, Starbucks Corp. unveiled a renovated prototype store in Santa Monica, Calif., equipped with H-P tablet computers. Using the tablets, consumers can scroll through a list of digital songs stored on the server, pick tunes they like and then instantly burn them onto a compact disc. They can also design art for the CD cover and print it out on an H-P printer, all for as little as $6.99. Customer traffic has increased since the music-enhanced store opened, potentially providing Starbucks with an additional revenue stream. |
