My barhopping days are long gone but the activity lately around real-time ordering shows where things are headed.  If any of the iPad projections are even close to reality, that market coupled with existing iPhone users could make a market quickly.

I had a conversation a few weeks ago with a local restaurant owner who was exploring the notion of supplying iPads at the bar, almost hanging them above the barstools, as he described.  Sounded like a great idea to me.

Apple has scheduled a March 17th event where it’s  reported they’ll debut the new iPhone OS 3.0. The company’s last major OS update (2.0) was about 8 months ago and it’s been 6 months since Apple missed its deadline for so-called “background applications.”

Besides something as obvious as cut-and-paste capabilities, personally I’d love to see some sort of video streaming a la Qik –without having to jailbreak the device. I’ve read there’s been at least a few video apps available for some time but Apple hasn’t signed off on platform deployment.
