Next on the list is the Mac POS.  The one I spent more time with was LightSpeed (there was another called Checkout).  Here’s a video.  The iTunes-like UI is attractive and intuitive which will be important for the next generation of retail employees.   A more intuitive UI can also help new employees get productive faster and with high turnover rates in retail, this can mean a real return.

Because of the price point of Mac hardware and the dearth of peripherals, I don’t see wide-spread adoption.  I can however see a great fit in certain high-end or high-tech retail environments.
