That's a nice idea for the content vending machine, and I even think you can make it compatible with all kinds of storage cards and/or interfaces like USB, but I think it's problematic from the timing perspective. (Even if they overcome compatibility issues with the multitude of DRM schemes out there.)
Right now, there aren't enough people using and buying content to expect them to buy from such a machine. By the time people have a big demand for content on the run, it will be commonplace to have internet connectivity in devices, and the vending machines for content won't be needed anymore. Sort of a tight window, therefore, to be late enough to get some demand for content, and early enough to be relevant in the face of over the air delivery methods.
