"...there's an app for that."

I just got an iPhone a few weeks ago - yes, I know. There are several things I love about it and several things that blow my mind. I love that it pushes information between my phone and computer. That has proven to be hugely valuable when keeping up with contacts, emails and calender events with Cafe Evoke Catering. The apps though?

There are so many random apps it is not even funny! In fact, I only have 3 apps on my phone - UrbanSpoon (Jenni loves it), Twitterfon and the flashlight (sounds random but I have actually used it for catering!). I see people with 9 pages worth of apps on their phone but as I look through the app store, there are just not that many that seem even worth it to download! Maybe I need to look through the ones that you pay for.

I first heard about Coffee Buzz through Barista Magazine and I sorta liked the idea. Yes, I'm hooked on Twitter so why not have another account for coffee related stuff?

Has anyone used this? Here is a bit about the app:

The app comes in at $3.99 on most occasions but actually is on sale right now for $0.99 and can be purchased through iTunes. Here are the feature breakdowns they talk about on their website:

  • Finds great places for coffee nearby using your iPhone's location awareness
  • Shows recent Coffee Buzz drinkers & activity both nearby and everywhere
  • Lets you share your favorite coffee hangouts with others around you
  • Tweets your coffee drinking activity to your Twitter account
  • Can automatically update your Twitter location

    I like the idea of being about to find coffee location no matter where we are - which will come in hand as we head out to Crested Butte tomorrow. I will play with it and let you know in a few days.

    Cheers to coffee related apps for the iPhone! Oh, and if you need me, I will be in the backyard with the "light saber" app chasing the dog...

    I was looking to get an iPhone myself, but when I went online, the AT&T site told me there was no service in my zip code, even though it looks like there is service on their coverage map. Do you get decent service?
    I know this is not your area of expertise but I moved here about three days ago and was just looking for an opinion.

    Are you in Montana or Oklahoma City? If you are in Montana, the coverage with AT&T sucks. Don't get one!

    If you are in Oklahoma, the coverage is great. I have not had any problems.

    Hope that helps!

    Thanks for reading.

    Hey Jason, I'm not sure if you've seen ProcessAway yet, but it's an iPhone app that lets you take credit cards on your iPhone:
