The latest iPhone application that I am using now is the UrbanSpoon application. Can you believe this? It is really the cutting edge technology. It is designed to find restaurants near you.This is another one that you might have seen on a commercial on TV one night.

It uses a graphical interface similar to a slot machine. Depending on your location, it will locate cities and a lot of variety of restaurants to pick from. The following are the inputs fields to search for any restaurant. It will give you an option to input the price range, city and type of restaurant you are looking for.

You only have to enter your location, shake your iPhone, and it will starch a search that looks like a slot machine. and viola, there is your restaurant. The three criteria spin until they land on something. It is so cool that you can lock on the fields in the slot machine search and the other two will keep spinning until it finds something.

This is a fun way to find new restaurants that you have not been to before, and in some cases you’ll find restaurants in your area that you’ve never even heard of. UrbanSpoon has a list of reviews from recent customers who visited a restaurant and submitted their reviews on their iPhone.

The good part of this all is that you can search of any restaurant by using a price range. You may try to know a restaurant how things are sold before hand personally one should have a knowledgeable idea of what price you are going to pay for food before entering the restaurant.

One feature of UrbanSpoon that you would not notice is that it finds restaurants, it does not just search restaurants close to the city you choose, but your current position based on the iPhone’s GPS navigation. It is really a great tool in finding restaurants near your location at any given place. It might sometimes show a different results when being at a neighbors house, or local ice cream shop that’s a couple of blocks away from my house. The radius it will search, but it is estimated between five to ten miles.
