I'm curious as to what people are doing with passbook on a daily basis - I just have my Starbux card and target coupons on it. Since I don't use ticketmaster daily or even weekly, thats not the use case I'm looking for. If the answer is, wait and they will come, that's fine too.

btw, the nicest thing about the Starbucks app/card is that its made me realize how much I spend there and how stoopid that is - so its had the great effect of almost completely stopping my Starbucks fix I may now use it once or twice a month as opposed to once or more daily. Anyone else have that experience? Aslo SF being coffee nerd nirvana, Sbux doesn't make the cut to snobville even as a basic provider.

With all the money you are saving on Starbucks, get yourself a Gaggia espresso machine! I love mine! I digress...

Yeah - I have a fully automatic one at home - love them! - but its a social thing as much as anything else to go for a coffee at work - the local neighbourhood micro roastery (is that a word?) does the trick, but I digress.

Now that Eventbrite supports Passbook, I now have a future event pass, a future movie ticket (via Cinescene) and my SCENE (Cineplex Odeon) card in Passbook. I'm hoping Delta will update their app before my next trip so I can try out the boarding pass feature.

I don't get SPOKEN turn-by-turn, but I do get turn-by-turn navigation, to wit:



A swipe to the left shows the next turn.

More amazingly, the Maps app can track me even without 3G or Wi-Fi available to me! Still not sure how that works, must be triangulation.

I just read somewhere that Maps is very good at caching data. It is probably using maps it downloaded last time you were connected to wifi or 3g and browsing that general area.
