And to answer your question, no there isn't an App like that yet, and there probably will never be one for Windows Mobile. There are plenty of applications, even free ones like google maps and windows live search, that you can find restaurants.

ummmm I think you missed his point he only wants the app because he is indecisive at what and where to eat not because he is in need of GPS....

that app would be really fun to have, it's fun and functional

aps for the iphone are alot easire to make because the windows based pphones are alot more elaborate. thats why there are like 3000 usless apps for the iphone. like the light saber app. or the lighter app. which is just an animateed lighter you can hold up at a concert. theres a bunch out there. but there are alot of usefull ones aswel which i wish they mad for our phone.. even games! what can we do but wait right? plus why would oyu wanna shake your phone and get suprised with a place to eat. i mean... woudlnt you rather eat something your craving or in the mood for rather then have a phone pic a place for you.. if you wanted better choices, use live search! its a great app! you can select categories>resturants and filter through all kinds of choices. then search by current gps location. itll give you a list and even gps turn by turn directions on how to get there. iphone cant do that. but i know this isnt a topic of if the TP is better then the iphone

More info on the app: http://www.urbanspoon.com/blog/27/Ur...he-iPhone.html

It does use gps and it appears you can filter on price range and style. From the pics it looks like the geographic range might be large, though I don't live in NYC to really know. The novelty, I guess, is the random selection and rating/reviews. Clearly you can call and get directions after you have selected a place. Not saying that it's better than live search, but I don't think it's worse for this particular application either.

As much resistance as there is to these kind of apps on WM, I would like something like this, especially if had a "pick from favorites" kind of thing. That and a TD Ameritrade app (of which there are two for iPhone). grrrr

Their list of restaurants is limited - even in a city like san francisco (where I live..) - worthless gimick.

Is the list the same as that on their website for the geographic area? Granted you must have many more restaurants in SF than we do in the Tampa Bay area, but the list on the site for my area is pretty well representative. The point is moot of course.

Iphone commercials make me laugh..lol.

That app sounds lame kinda i mean the apple people obviously need their software to tell them what to watch, listen to and what kind of style they should have now apparently they need software to tell them what to eat. Come on man dont be apart of that mindless revolution!
