Urbanspoon Picks a Restaurant for You [Featured IPhone Download]

iPhone/iPod touch only: Free application Urbanspoon finds you a place to eat nearby at the shake of your iPhone or iPod touch. Aptly described as part Magic 8 Ball and part slot machine, Urbanspoon uses your location-aware iPhone to find where you are, then circumvents your indecisive tendencies by picking a restaurant for you each time you shake the device. The video demo above gives you a good idea of how it works, but it's got even more polish (and cooler sound effects)—including the ability to lock any of the three categories in case you want to stick to a neighborhood, type of food, or price range. Urbanspoon is freeware, works with iPhones and iPod touches running 2.0 software. If you don't have an iPhone but are equally indecisive, check out previously mentioned Wheel of Food. Thanks wqwert!
