Urbanspoon debuts a 'cross between a magic 8 ball and a slot machine'

This is interesting technology news. Urbanspoon.com has created a new restaurant locator iPhone application which will debut with the new 3G device next month. The application allows a person to shake their phone in a select neighborhood which then sets a slot machine-style interface that returns the nearest highest rated restaurants by Urbanspoon.

Urbanspoon founder says the idea was to help people find a good place to eat when they are "seized by indecision."

I think this sounds like a fantastic idea. Sometimes somewhere like Belltown with so many dining options, can be an overwhelming place for an indecisive hungry person.

Here is a video demo of how the application works.
