    Motorola is creating what they call “robotic stores,” called Instantmoto, to sell Motorola phones and accessories. While these amazing store will probably be completely indistinguishable from stores staffed with actual human employees – both the robot and the humans would probably fail the Turing test, given enough time – these vending machines will sell the RAZR and the Q with or without a service plan.

    The machines will appear in 20 malls and airports and Chicago has three installed right now, including one at a Macy’s.
