Book A Cab Instantly With Taxi Magic

Add taxis to the list of things you'll never use the same way again now that you have an iPhone. Let Taxi Magic figure out your current location or enter it manually. When the cab is on its way you'll be told how far away it as well as what the driver's name and ID# is. It all happens without you having to talk to a single person. Just a few taps and a cab is on its way. One catch. You have to be in one of these areas:
Atlanta Austin | Baltimore | Boston | Charlotte | Chicago | Dallas | Denver | Kansas City | Los Angeles | Minneapolis | Nashville | New York City | Orange Co. | Pittsburgh | Phoenix | Portland | Sacramento | San Antonio | San Diego | San Francisco | San Jose/Silicon Valley | Seattle | St. Louis | Washington DC Area
You can even set it up so that you pay by credit card using Taxi Magic rather than carrying cash around. Sure there's still room for improvement - like the ability to see the per mile rate and see reviews of the drivers or the companies. But still, if you're in an unfamiliar city or go out drinking from time to time - you'll find this to be a very useful app. Have you used this app? What do you think?
