When people on the go want their coffee fix, they want it instantly and the new Starbucks iPhone application helps make things a little easier.
The Starbucks card mobile application is the latest in iPhone apps and allows customers to pay right from their mobile phones, getting them that much closer to that instant java fix. The application works like any other Starbucks card and gets charged to your credit card.
Starbucks has another application in the works, myStarbucks, that gives users recipes to their favorite coffees and drinks and also helps choose your next Starbucks latte when you are feeling a bit indecisive.
