You can now use your iPhone or BlackBerry Tour, Curve, or Storm to order a Frappuccino at Starbucks, or anything else the outfit sells. All you need to do is download the Starbucks Card Mobile app.
"Enter your card number and your device will display a barcode you can use as your Starbucks Card to make purchases," Starbucks explains. "It's fast. It's easy. And it's a revolution in mobile payment."
Starbucks says the Mobile Pay feature is available at more than 7,500 store locations, including all Target Starbucks stores, in the U.S. You can check your local Starbucks by using the Store Locator and using the Mobile Payment filter.

People in asia (China and Japan) have been using mobile phones to pay for purchases for years now, it's quite surprising that we americans are just now catching on to this existing trend.

While the email I received yesterday stated that "Android Users - Your App is coming Soon", you'd think that they'd try a little harder to support the second most widespread mobile O/S available. It's been months since I started asking them when an Android app would be available.
