Starbucks is the Stuckey’s of the 21st century. You arrive in a new town, jetlagged, disoriented. You need to reconnect with the world you know. You need familiarity. And caffeine. And wifi. Starbucks provides all of that. Now, in most major cities you can find a Starbucks by standing on any street corner and turning 270°, but thankfully there’s a free app that gives you a breakdown of every Starbucks in your area.

It seems this might be gift card week on the App Store. Lots of fun stuff for everyone, though, including two apps from Starbucks, a way to check your 3G connection, video messaging, and the iPhone incarnation of a PSP game. I hope you find something you like.
