Continuing on our recent post about a clever phone-enabled coffee machine hack comes another ingenious hack from our friends at Developer Garden. (We announced our partnership with Deutsche Telekom’s Developer Garden giving developers full access to the Telekom Tropo API last year.) Flexing that well-known German ingenuity, these developers created a phone-enabled vending machine app. Yes, you can now get your 4pm gummy bear fix by simply talking to the vending machine. You no longer have to scrounge for change or ask your coworker to borrow another quarter, simply call up your vending machine and just ask nicely.
