No more clunky devices to carry around with you when you are waiting for a table to ready at a restaurant. With Ready Ping, just have the restaurant text message you when the table is ready.
Subway Testing Ording Online & Via Text Message
If you live in New York City, you have a chance right now to test out Subway Now, which is an online system that allows you to order online, or via text message. If you plug in anything but a New York City address or zip code the system mentions that this is only a pilot program, but it'd be great if they rolled this out nationally.
Great to see restaurant/fast food companies innovating. I'd like to see an iPhone application from Subway; I think they could greatly benefit from it.

Motorola Sparrow: This Device Could Change Retail
The Motorola Sparrow is the newest and coolest thing in retail store marketing. The Motorola Sparrow is a very small device with a display that excepts credit cards, detects RFID, is WiFi ready, is capable of storing data, pictures etc, and can't wait to be taken advantage of by retailers!
Who will be the first savvy retailer to put this device into action? Looks like a perfect device for Apple Stores if you ask me!
