Starbucks says it won’t capture customers’ cell phone numbers or offer incentives to use the new feature. Last year, the company sent $5 gift cards to customers who played a text messaging quiz game that was hard to lose.

Seems like everyone and their baby’s mama mama drinks coffee (’cept me). Wouldn’t mind a gift card for playing a game though…

    While the MYSBUX service sounds cool, wouldn’t it be even cooler if you could order and pay from your mobile phone and skip the line when you got to Starbucks? Checkout http://www.gomobo.com and this piece from Good Morning America. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDv-LDyBbk0)
