Order Starbucks Coffee from your iPhone
Soon, thanks to Apple’s deal with Starbucks for free WiFi at their stores, you’ll never have to see your name misspelled on your Cup of Joe again.
It looks like Starbucks is developing a program for the iPhone and iPod Touch that will let you order just about anything on their menu right from your device. You can also completely customize your coffee by selecting the size, type of milk, and cream, and even add a note to the order.
To top it off, you can even pay for your order from the program via a special Semacode that it displays.
The program also lets you save your favorites for a one-touch order when you’re in a hurry. Although this is certainly not helping create interaction between people, it looks like a quick and easy way to order coffee for Starbucks regulars. We’re excited to see this in action. Check out the gallery after the jump.
Edit: We’ve heard that this might not be real, but instead just a design. For now, we’ll stick to our source, although don’t get too excited just yet. You Starbucks aficionados might have to wait a while longer before this is really created.

This seems unlikely to be true because even if AT&T was linked directly into the Starbux register system to receive the order and take payment ( which it is not-could be but I doubt it), there doesn’t seem to be a way to alert the partners that they need to actually prepare the order, not to mention check if the items being ordered are even available at that location at that particular time. I’m interested to see if anything comes of this rumour.

Looks like by the Spring, anyone who registers ( free) a Starbucks card ($5 minimim) will be able to connect for 2 free hours. After that, $4 for each 2 hr period ( I THINK, dont want to start rumors). I still dont know how a cafe store word know that order had been made…A drive-thru could have the order spit out by the label printer, BUT the technology isnt there…yet…
