HP unveils new touch-enabled Point-of-sale retail store system.

Technology services provider HP (NYSE:HPQ) on Monday introduced a touch-enabled point-of-sale (POS) system for retailers seeking to cost-effectively manage their businesses.

The new HP ap5000 All-in-One POS System, which is reportedly easy to use, is compact, maximizes work space and includes a central processing unit, touch-enabled display, magnetic stripe reader and either a two-line customer display or a 10.4-inch LCD customer display to enhance promotional activities.

The HP ap5000, which is built to handle the rigorous demands of retail environments, requires only one power outlet, reducing cable clutter and making it ideal for retailers requiring a sleek design for customer-facing areas.

Pricing for the HP ap5000 All-in-One POS System, which is expected to be available worldwide in March 2009, is through HP partners.
