Possibly the coolest idea for tapping into the potential of smartphones and tablets I’ve seen to date.
It looks like the next big step in food service is having your edibles delivered by extremely bizarre, yet convenient methods. The latest is the aptly named “Tacocopter”, which will allow customers to order tacos using their smartphone and GPS location information. The details are transmitted to an unmanned drone helicopter which is loaded with your order and sent off to find you.
There’s not a lot that can be said to add to the awesomest concept in home delivery since Pizza Hut was integrated into Everquest. If Tacocopter ever manages to get around the CASA regulations on unmanned aerial vehicles, I look forwards to ordering dinner via my new iPad (3) or HTC One X
This sadly yet obviously isn’t anything other than a viral social marketing stunt. Even so, the best ideas are often born from harebrained schemes so I’m not giving up on my tablet-ordered pizza just yet.
