According to Forbes, Apple filed a patent application last week for a product that would consist of “a processing system.. that includes a wireless communication interface that wirelessly communicates with one or more wireless client devices in the vicinity of an establishment..” it is uncertain how exactly the system would work, or how soon it will appear in an actual product.
Apple earlier launched an application on the iPhone which allows users standing in a Starbucks to instantly download any song they hear playing in the coffee shop as they listen to it.

Too labor intensive for both the cell phone user and the poor order preparer...then they have to match up order to you when you finally show up...and a payment will have to be made AND verified or you ain't leaving the premises, bub!...there is so much more to say...but this is a huge flop. JUST CALL THE COFFEE SHOP, GIVE THEM YOUR ORDER AND PUT IT ON YOUR TAB (OR HAVE YOUR CREDIT/DEBIT CARD ON FILE WITH THEM) FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF COLD COFFEE/DRINKS LEFT TOO LONG AT THE "CHECKOUT" AND PLENTY OF IRRITATED CUSTOMERS UPSET THAT JOE SCHMOE ORDERING FROM HIS CAR CUT AHEAD OF HIM IN LINE…THUMBS DOWN TO THIS "APPLICATION"
