- Ireland, on 01/11/2008, -5/+137It's official, in the future nobody will talk.
- chris9902, on 01/11/2008, -35/+88You'd have to be a total tool to order coffee with a phone while in the shop.... oh right, you already own the iPhone.
- ColonelJessup, on 01/11/2008, -0/+35I wish I could go back in time and tell people that in the future you can order a cup of coffee over your phone. Not only that, but you would pay 5 bucks for it.
- rnawky, on 01/11/2008, -13/+34Wow thanks for posting this man, I had no idea.

- 2digg4, on 01/11/2008, -5/+14Wonderful interface. Dugg!
- gldfshnpcklejar, on 01/11/2008, -1/+10The will remove the phone from the iPhone and just leave the web and text messages. Quick, someone patent that.
- zeazzz, on 01/11/2008, -1/+10But those are iPod Touches...
- NsinU8, on 01/11/2008, -10/+18Oh no. I will no longer be able to force small talk with the pimply kid making my coffee or burger or whatever. How is that such a great loss? There will always be verbal interaction. It is unavoidable although some try.
- ninsei, on 01/11/2008, -2/+10Wow, busy at work today?
- noahhoward, on 01/11/2008, -0/+8Greenhouse gases around D.C. will plummet.
- lex0nyc, on 01/11/2008, -1/+8What did they do?
- floridiot2, on 01/11/2008, -16/+23Oh man, you can just smell the smug leaking out of these guys' *****.
- SoBayJake, on 01/11/2008, -1/+7Uhm, I think you missed the point. You'd walk in, presumably scan your phone screen, and your order would go in the queue as if the person at the register had just taken it. Who knows if any of this is even true, or has a chance at being true.
- NoCt1, on 01/11/2008, -3/+8some of the people that take those orders are pretty hot women and worth the small talk. but other than that not much.
- starkruzr, on 01/11/2008, -3/+7Yeah, you'd have to be a total tool to want to skip waiting in line. What kind of idiot doesn't want to stand around for 10 minutes in a SoHo Starbucks twiddling their thumbs?
- MrTito, on 01/11/2008, -7/+11Zing
- milkmage, on 01/11/2008, -0/+3calm down.
it's a demonstration to suggest what the possibilities could be. it might be overkill for a cup of coffee - but it's pretty cool in CONCEPT (online ordering for SOMETHING via SOME mobile device) not specifically using the iPhone to order Starbucks) - don't take it so literally - use your imagination. - rkdotan, on 06/06/2008, -0/+3http://genoco.com/link/interactive_quickOrder.html
- pcpimpster, on 01/11/2008, -2/+5It's going to be just like waiting for a prescription you called in, it will be ready but you will will still have a line and you will still have to wait for someone to hand it to you.
There should be a coffee cannon that shoots it at you as soon as you walk in the door. - dylanmat, on 01/11/2008, -0/+3STFU will soon mean Speak The ***** Up
- baxterthaman, on 01/11/2008, -1/+4Gizmodo wasn't getting enough traffic today so they had to copy it from somewhere else, then post to Digg.
- gldfshnpcklejar, on 01/11/2008, -5/+8clak hater: I don't drink $7 coffee, and my phone is a 3+ year old motorola. I spend my money wisely. For example: education.
- RyFo18, on 01/12/2008, -0/+3Good! Now I can buy overpriced hyped up coffee from my overpriced hyped up phone!
- MacnCidar, on 01/11/2008, -0/+3Well, your comment is about as relevant as some of the others here...
- BenDigital, on 01/12/2008, -0/+2I THINK ITS FAKE!
Here's why, I scanned the semacode with my N95 Barcode reader, it gives a link to http://www.genoco.com.
Shouldn't it provided the data of the drink you just ordered!! - hannahmar, on 06/11/2009, -2/+4God damn it. Wrong story. Digg that down.
- SirBotchness, on 01/11/2008, -3/+5amazing, same exact story twice, no one looks for dupes when submitting.
- Ireland, on 01/11/2008, -0/+2You'll be ok, you won't have to use it.
- Miaa, on 01/11/2008, -3/+5Just to clarify, I would use this to order a drink while im at work, then walk to starbucks and pick up my drink, without having to wait in line. saving time on my lunch break.
- MookiBlaylock, on 01/11/2008, -2/+4Awesome interface
- starkruzr, on 01/11/2008, -1/+3Substitute "extremely attractive college girl" for "pimply kid" and the sarcasm is removed entirely from what you just said.
- antechinus, on 01/11/2008, -1/+3If someone took a photograph of a turd floating in an Apple toilet bowl it would be front page on Digg.
- K4P741NxKRUNCH, on 01/11/2008, -0/+2I am picturing a world like in the movie Equilibrium, except in this world you must use an iPhone, and if you are more than 5 feet away from your iPhone at any time, the chip planted in your brain by Apple will shock you repeatedly until you go back to your iPhone or eventually die.
- edwartica, on 01/12/2008, -0/+2Wow, you realize that people who work in coffee shops count on tips as part of their salary? So...does this mean that all tips will be eliminated?
- starkruzr, on 01/11/2008, -0/+2"where the ordering part takes about 30 seconds"
You apparently don't live in New York. - Refrag, on 01/12/2008, -0/+1The Starbucks in the office building I work in sometimes has the ordering line backed up so far that they send an employee down the line asking everyone what their order is and what their name is. This would solve that for those of us with an iPhone. I'd definitely use it, especially if I got to skip the line.
- mediabaron, on 01/13/2008, -0/+1Starbucks screwed their employees when they increased prices, most folks just drop the change into the tip jar so they're spending the same, just less tip going into the jar.
- TxAggie08, on 01/12/2008, -0/+1Yep, because the store would process the order to pick up the Wii before you got to electronics. Buried for not knowing how slow e-commerce can be once an electronic order hits the real world.
- starkruzr, on 01/12/2008, -0/+1Okay, great! Now explain why it needs the AT&T network.
Are you feeling stupid yet? - feliphe, on 01/13/2008, -0/+1what if i want a tall tea in a venti cup with extra extra room for milk and 10 packages of honey?
- EntrepreNerd, on 01/12/2008, -0/+1It cold have something to do with the fact that stuff on Digg moves fast enough that those who do not have Digg as their home page tend to miss a story or two.
- xil3nt, on 01/12/2008, -0/+1ive always thought the same thing
- Dylson, on 01/11/2008, -0/+1Agreed.
- Refrag, on 01/12/2008, -0/+1They'd probably just use your name like they do now with normal orders.
- feliphe, on 01/13/2008, -0/+1Phil Lu? whoTF is Phil Lu? a doctor?
- TxAggie08, on 01/12/2008, -0/+110 years from today....
Apple announces agreement with Starbucks to embed chips that use nanotechnology to produce Starbucks coffee right inside the iPhone. This of course would be delivered directly to the Borg implant, er interface on your arm. - starkruzr, on 01/11/2008, -0/+1Do you seriously think an opportunity to monetize something will be left off either device? Come on.
- addiktion, on 01/15/2008, -0/+1When Apple takes over the world you will still be standing in line anyways due to everyone doing this same technique.
