Could my dream of not waiting in line for coffee possibly be realized??

Okay. Although I am helping www.splickit.com to launch their new online/text-message ordering system, I truly have dreamt of something like this being widely available.My reverie usually begins as I'm racing to an appointment, or more frequently, to the airport, and there is no way in hell that I'm going to risk pulling into my local coffee house and potentially find myself waiting in (what feels like) the world's longest, slowest line. But I need my coffee!!I have seriously weighed the pros/cons of missing a flight while waiting in line at a Starbuck's kiosk at You-Name-It-Airport. As the line of passengers boarding my flight dwindled down to none, I was just getting my latte ordered and hadn't paid, sugared-up or even taken that all important first sip so it wouldn't come burping out of the lid while I frantically jostled my way to the gate.So what if I could actually use my Blackberry to text in my coffee order (and my favorite coffee cake from Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf on S. Beverly), pre-pay for it, and have it waiting for me, piping hot and ready to go at a special pick up spot in the store (no line-jumping for me!)??A girl can dream can't she?Well, if splick-it gets off the ground in a way I think it will, I'm hopeful that my days of living on the edge will be reduced, and that my stress level will too.
