Order coffee directly from your iPhone
Soon, thanks to Apple's deal with Starbucks for free access to WiFi at their stores, ordering overpriced coffee will be easier than ever. There'll be no more of that undesirable "interacting with fellow humans" that mars any good transaction, thank heavens.
That's because you'll be able to order and pay for your drinks directly from your iPhone or iPod Touch using the fancy new Starbucks program. You can choose exactly what you want in your drink, be it just a normal coffee or some horrible half-caf soy mocha teacchino or whatever it is they sell there. At long last, your dreams of ordering coffee from your phone will be realized. Thanks, Apple!

This isn't a real application, but instead the work of an independent designer. More of a proof of concept than anything else. Check out http://gizmodo.com/343686/iphone-starbucks-ordering-screens-look-like-the-real-thing-precede-apple-patent

I think the idea of this App is very good, I dont mean to sound rude but your concept is wrong, the device that is picture is an iPod touch but when you look along the top it show AT&T a cellular network. It should only display iPod, time and wi-fi.

I've been selling graphic touchscreen point of sale systems to restaurants since 1985 and I've been selling a wireless terminal to restaurants since January, 2004. Click on the link for a picture of the software I've been using since 1995. My code is based on X and runs on any OS or hardware that X appears on. It seems kind of silly that Apple thinks it is going to be able to get a patent on any of this.
