Pizza Hut has their own iPhone app, so why not Starbucks? The first application is called myStarbucks and is basically a store locater and beverage information tool. Users can use it to check the nutrition value of the coffee or food that Starbucks offers. Good luck with that.

The other app helps users pay off the remaining credit on their cards, allowing one to transfer money into it. Starbucks hopes that the iPhone applications will give users a faster way to order, thereby making more sales.

Several people are getting SMS messages from AT&T reminding them of the long-awaited “free wireless at Starbucks” plan. It was first announced in February with a target launch spring 2008, the service has been quietly running on and off since April, including two hours of daily access at any Starbucks store or AT&T hotspot.

T-Mobile users with existing hotspot accounts are supposed to have ongoing access to the network in Starbucks stores. The service has been available on a spotty basis, but this is an official “yes it’s working” announcement that has been a while in coming. Hopefully we can put an end to this chapter and the service stays on at long last.

Starbucks and Apple’s iTunes continue to expand the relationship which shows synergy between latte drinking customers and the iPods they love. The latest incarnation is the announcement of a weekly free music download which will be made available to Starbucks in-store customers.

This new promotion, dubbed Pick of the Week, debuted today with a song from the band Counting Crows. Customers who are in-store on a Tuesday will be offered for free a card with the latest song information as well as a code to download that tune from  iTunes. A music video looks to also be available, though its not clear if that will be a weekly choice as well. Whatever the download, customers will have 60 days from the week the card is distributed to cash in their code for the download.

AT&T notched a huge feather in its Wi-Fi cap today as it announced a partnership to add its wireless network as an access option at Starbucks locations. This in effect brings over 7,000 new locations into the AT&T network.

Under the terms of the partnership AT&T and Starbucks will offer two hours of free wireless Internet access per day for Starbucks Card holders. This offering, which will kick in beginning this spring, will also be offered to over 12 million AT&T Internet customers in the more broad form of unlimited access. A similar offering will also soon be made to AT&T Wireless customers.

Starbucks along with Apple iTunes has announced that they will be giving away 50 million iTunes songs at Starbucks locations to help promote the mobile iTunes store and Starbucks’ Now Playing service. On October 2 the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store will launch with a service provided in Starbucks locations which will display the current song playing through the Apple iPhone in the stores and allow users to buy and download the song without paying any hotspot fees.

In the additional promotion announced today which will run from October 2 through November 7, Starbucks locations will be giving away “Song of the Day” cards that can be redeemed that the iTunes store for a free song download (selected by Starbucks). The coffee company is planning on giving away 1.5 million downloads per day to total more than 50 million songs, so the odds of you getting one when stopping through a Starbucks next month are not too shabby.
