Starbucks Iphone & Blackberry app

How will I function in the morning without my $5 Caffe Peanut Butter Frappa-Latte?

Visit a Starbucks and you can now forget your cash or credit cards and pay for your drink with your smartphone. iPhone, Ipod Touch and Blackberry users just need to flash their phone to pay for their drinks with the Starbucks app, which functions the same as a Starbucks card.

Instead of using RFID of NFC the app displays a scannable barcode linked to your account. Just enter your Starbucks card number and add funds from your credit card, iPhone users can also use PayPal or take out a second mortgage.

In addition to paying for your drink, the Starbucks iPhone app can help you build your perfect drink (coffee. black.), look up nutrition info, and find the nearest Starbucks location to get your fix (because you know they are so difficult to find).

Starbucks newest product:
We're holding out for the needle version. The tie-off rope will be made of 100% fair trade organic hemp rope

  1. That's a pretty cool idea but I bet you can run up a sizeable bill. Imagine if they had this is bars, it would be so easy to spend a LOT of money.

  4. he only good thing about this app is that you can place your order online and when you scan it the barista gets explicit instructions on how you want it.
