    Golly gee wiz. We're now using $300 phones and single-purpose installed applications to emulate what basic mobile phones could do with vending machines in Scandinavia since 2004.

    Comments like this are so annoying. If you were browsing a outdoor sporting site and reviewing an amazing new climbing innovation, would you dismiss it with "now we're spending hundreds to do what our ape ancestors could do for free millions of years ago"?

    Starbuck's iPhone payment platform will become standard for our mobile, connected society - and others, big and small, are certain to follow in quick order.

    I'm not a coffee drinker but this is awesome.

    I would recommend CardStar, but nothing uses bar codes anymore

    No its not available for people everywhere yet, but luckily, i don't like their coffee at all ... unluckily i cant buy my friends a coffee when they are abroad.
  • d3bruts1d · 2 months ago
    I'm really looking forward to this. Though I know it will be years before Knoxville Starbucks get this feature... assuming we ever get this feature.
  • Sonya · 2 months ago
    oh noes. Another thing to reinforce my addiction to Starbucks.
  • Patricia · 2 months ago
    Unfortunately not available yet for Canadian caffeine addicts.

    As mentioned in the article the key to this will be when you can preorder your coffee, especially when combined with a feature that allows you to easily co-ordinate a coffee meeting with friends or colleagues. At present it still doesn't add that much value, as I for one dont see how making up your order on the iphone and showing it to the barrista is any quicker than telling them.

    :( The Starbucks apps are not available in Canada. SUCKY!
  • brad · 2 months ago
    Old. They're lazy for not launching this back idk 2 years ago.
  • slrbo · 2 months ago
    Looks cool. but the drink builder doesn't do me much good without being able to actually place an order. Check out the Chipotle app (http://bit.ly/v8bIb) -- it lets you actually configure, order and pay -- way cooler.

    Starbucks is so smart. Their innovative and their ad (http://adwido.com/view_content?vkey=96d94d03851...) team rocks.

    It is so convinient for us to pay by ciphone! http://global-cell-phones.com/ciphone.html
  • Brendalee · 2 months ago
    Grrr........this app is not available in Canada.
  • jen · 2 months ago
    cool but why not pick up Coffee Spot app to find all coffee shops in your area? http://bit.ly/2IGc53
  • Craig Prater · 2 months ago
    This is great. Now, if they'd just implement Alletronic and let me get my receipts from Starbucks on my iPhone, THEN they'd have something.
  • deestewart · 2 months ago
    I wish I used Starbucks more so I could really enjoy cool apps like these. But I hate coffee and their smoothies aren't too great...
  • portlandsuz · 2 months ago
    Why doesn't Starbucks allow the IPhone apps to order and pay for drinks while you're on the go? Like a GPS in your car, bike or backpack could track how close you are to the store, and trigger the barista to make your drink so it would be smoking hot for you. Then there could be a 'pick up section' in Starbucks that opens up with a bar code - like Fandango for movies and presto - your smoking hot, pre-paid triple shot white mocha :)
