And also in place to be able to place you at a particular store (iTunes has to know which song is on at the store).  Then why can't they provide an ordering page so you can order your drink while you're in line?  Maybe even store your 5 favorite coffee orders for quick orders?  Charge your credit card, go straight to the drink pickup and wait for your order...<br><br>So much more useful than buying the current song.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[BrandonT]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 5th 2007 3:27PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Apple and Starbucks join up for iTunes WiFi purchases]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/05/apple-and-starbucks-join-up-for-itunes-wifi-purchases/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/05/apple-and-starbucks-join-up-for-itunes-wifi-purchases/</guid><description><![CDATA["it's not half as neat as it sounds" ... huh? You folks are really thinking small. This is a step. You bring your device into a place, it recognizes where it's at and delivers a menu/button relative to the location. You can then interact with the store by finding out what is currently playing and then - if you like - buy it. There's a pretty cool path forward, if you just think about it. But, boring? Don't think so. <br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Wilson]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 5th 2007 4:36PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Apple and Starbucks join up for iTunes WiFi purchases]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/05/apple-and-starbucks-join-up-for-itunes-wifi-purchases/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/05/apple-and-starbucks-join-up-for-itunes-wifi-purchases/</guid><description><![CDATA[i think you got it!  one could walk into a store, like the Gap, look at your phone, and it will give you a list of sale items specifically tailored to you.  sort of like the directed adds in "Minority Report", but not quite as creepy.  google and apple will leverage this to the hilt.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[frankmu]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 6th 2007 12:06AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Apple and Starbucks join up for iTunes WiFi purchases]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/05/apple-and-starbucks-join-up-for-itunes-wifi-purchases/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/05/apple-and-starbucks-join-up-for-itunes-wifi-purchases/</guid><description><![CDATA[I wonder when this will come to Tokyo Japan.<br><br><a href="http://www.whitokyo.info" rel="nofollow">http://www.whitokyo.info</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tokyo Dan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 5th 2007 8:14PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Apple and Starbucks join up for iTunes WiFi purchases]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/05/apple-and-starbucks-join-up-for-itunes-wifi-purchases/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/05/apple-and-starbucks-join-up-for-itunes-wifi-purchases/</guid><description><![CDATA[I wish they applied the starbucks integration concept to internet radio..
