In a market where the businesses have a very slow ROI in this case we must speak of a clear example in which the ROI has been of the 149 percent. Therefore this example is added to the list of future applications for the world of kiosk.

Interestingly, embedded market analyst Venture Development Corp. in January, 2006 reported that its surveys of highly qualified embedded developers found that Linux remains the most popular embedded OS, with between 13 and 15 percent of embedded developers using it as a target OS.

After this crossing of opinions and contradictory results in different sources maybe the best conclusion is to think that Linux is the operating system more used in architectures embedded of 32bits or 64bits. Also we must remember that the use of simpler architectures (< 32bits) with Linux systems does not have a very long trajectory in this field. This takes us to the conclusions that the article of the EETimes magazine pointed; limited or relatively new few drivers available, few expert designers with these systems, etc.

Seventy one percent of those considering using embedded Linux indicated that low cost was among the reasons for considering it, up two percent from 2005. Sixty one percent indicated that adaptability/extendibility was among the reasons for considering Linux, up from 58 percent in 2005.

The ROI offered by serivces of atcual kiosks is slow, but it is not stopping the perspectives of this market. Everyday the kiosk has products with more advanced technologies inside, because the services has the focus in markets like internet and mobile phones market.

El kiosko que alvento presentó en el 3GSM era capaz de descargar: fondos de pantalla, melodias, animaciones, juegos, etc. a terminales móviles cobrando a través de su monedero. Con la capacidad de devolver el dinero al cliente si la transmisión no se podía completar con éxito. El avanzado sistema de detección de terminales permite al kiosko movilpoint detectar el terminal del cliente antes de hacer la descarga asegurandose así que el contenido se manda al terminal que realmente lo esta requiriendo.
