iPhone users able to purchase drinks on their phones soon?

Yet another patent has shown up from Apple, describing a wireless system that may allow iPhone users to purchase items on their phones. With Apple’s recent relationship with Starbucks, rumor mills can only theorize that this system will be used to purchase drinks at Starbucks. And you thought buying music on your phone was cool.

The system would not only allow users to purchase items, but would also notify them when their item was ready, truly making no lines possible. The patent, filed on December 20th, may just lead the way into electronic coffee purchases for the masses.
