Pay for your Starbucks with your phone

Starbucks is jumping forward with the new Starbucks mobile payment app, for your iPhone, iPod Touch, or BlackBerry. The app links to your credit card so that baristas can quickly scan the barcode you pull up on your phone. It also allows you to check your balance and transaction history and reload with PayPal. The company says that an Android app is coming soon.

This sounds like an easy and convenient way to get your Starbucks fix. Have you tried the new app? Do you believe that this "pay with your app" ability will spread through the service industry? Let us know under "comments"
