theres an app for that for some device somewhere whether you need one or not....

I think after looking around for several of these, and they range from locator's of stores, to updates of what the business or company is doing, is slightly ridiculous. I think its another example of "Oh everyone else is doing it we better too" syndrome. Do I really need a Starbucks locater ? They are on practically every block and chances are if I go to Starbucks i have a favorite one I go to and know where it is. And all the airline ones that are out or are coming out useless, they cant get a plane to take off on time if their life depend on it and they make an app to check for status updates for your flights????? wow an app that is never right, its not even as good as a broken clock it gets the time right twice a day at least. sure there is the odd useful one IPhone have one for restaurants in areas your in and offer reviews from other users so not bad, and theirs the one which tells you where every traffic cam is on your route as like a spy version of GPS, but is it legal? Or the one by gyco insurance which gives you updates of everything pertaining to your insurance with them and bloopers and funny videos of driving accidents and stuff? is that really appropriate? I'm waiting for some truly worthy business promoting apps to come out. How about ones from pharmacies or your Doctor with a reminder program for your med or appointments? or one from your news source local to the area? which you can set up for specific alerts relevant to your interests. I would love one that is a traffic report which is for you in your area and up to date say tracks all users on the road and their movement through the GPS that most phones have and use that data to give relevant traffic stats? Nope haven't seen that one yet guess I'll have to settle for an app which tells me where the nearest theater is and whats playing at it.........
