    I agree with the need for it to be compatible with more phones, especially the iPhone, because those users are likely to be willing to A. travel and B. shell out the extra cash.

    Otherwise, great idea with a few kinks! I think the ability to pay for a cab via credit card is the biggest benefit, and they need to really really focus on that when advertising.

    I agree that this is a service that many business travelers are interested in. In fact it is already an important piece of the Rearden Personal Assistant. Currently Rearden's mobile assistant works with Blackberry and the iPhone version is on the way. Check out the demo for the mobile assistant: http://www.reardencommerce.com/resources/demos.php

    Indeed. Hopefully support for more mobile phones will be available soon, and I think this is a great tie in for a personal assistant service as well.

    Nice idea, but it doesn't actually work. The cab driver had no idea what I was talking about, and refused to accept the payment.
