iPhone 4 First Impressions

I wanted to share some of my 1st impressions after having the iPhone 4 for the past 24 hours. My overall reaction: it’s an amazing device and I’m not experiencing (knock on wood) the issues that are being reported across the blogosphere. I shot a quick video highlighting some of the new features and my initial feelings of it.

If you can’t see this video, you can check it out over on my YouTube channel:

Get Your Chipotle On – iPhone Style!

Ok, anyone that follows me on Twitter knows that I have a slight obsession with chips & salsa. It doesn’t end there though. I’m ALWAYS down for a little Mexican. One of my favorite places to grab good, fast Mexican is Chipotle Mexican Grill. They make your food to order and right in front of you allowing you to customize your taco, burrito or salad as you go.

Separately from my obsession with Mexican food, I had been waiting for an iPhone app to come out that would allow you to complete the ENTIRE ordering process for a restaurant from your phone. You see, I want to be able to take care of everything on my phone, walk in, grab my bag o’ food and walk out. There have been a couple of apps that have come out, but none of them were for restaurants that I tend to go to. No help there.

Enter the Chipotle Mexican Grill iPhone app.

The app is location-based so grant it permission and it will find the closest Chipotle to you. You can view their entire menu, including pictures of the food. You can place an order and pay for it (securely, of course). All from your iPhone. For those of us (ahem, pointing a finger at myself) that tend to be frequent customers, you can even make an entire purchase a “favorite”. So, the next time you have a craving, all you have to do is load up your favorite order, pay and you’re off to the races. Of course, you have to sign up for an account for it to remember all of that, but hey, what DON’T you have to sign up for an account with nowadays.

This isn’t the first time the app was released. Back in January Chipotle apparently tried releasing this app into the wild. It did so well that the app couldn’t handle it so it had to be taken down, the process refined and now it’s back.

Have you tried this app yet? What are your thoughts about completing an entire food order from your phone? I’m curious to hear your thoughts…
