Apple Thoughts - News & Reviews on all things Apple

"Ever since the iPad was introduced two years ago, its potential to revolutionize the restaurant industry has been widely touted, with some restaurants already moving to replace their traditional point-of-sale devices with iPads and companies such as Square seeking to fill that need."

This is awesome and I hope it catches on with other restaurants. Order your grub from your table with the iPad 2 and then entertain yourself while you eat your wings. I'm hoping they have some good cleaner for the iPads because you know eating wings is messy business!

"I live in an area that has nearly 300 hundred restaurants in a 10 square mile area. 300! Finding which one to go to even in my own town is difficult at best and I can't imagine how visitors must feel. It can be overwhelming."

If you too are feeling a little overwhelmed about where to eat, or just travel a lot and want to get some new ideas on where to go, it sounds like this app is a must have. Nice review of the app over at ClintonFitch.com to help you decide if you want to spend the $9.99 USD on it.

"Rely on the most trusted guide to restaurants and access over 40,000 Zagat Ratings & Reviews on your iPhone or Wi-Fi connected iPod Touch. Nightlife, Hotels, and Shopping are also included."

I don't have this app, since they don't have Portland listed as one of the cities, but I have used their books in the past when traveling so I can see the appeal of having that information handy on your iPhone or iPod Touch. It is available now in the iTunes store for $9.99 USD, and if you aren't sure you need it, have a look at this review.
