Definitely checking it out would be helpful. It just shipped. I just had an issue with the mall's network brought to my attention. They did not pull a wire to the location as it's in the spec, and are only offering a wireless network. This kiosk requires the Internet to function so I we are discussing installing a repeater/bridge. I'm waiting on a reply to some questions regarding the wifi network available (wep/wpa, ESSID, "I agree to the TOS"..., etc...) to see if this is even going to be possible.
