British pubs accepting bitcoin.

Even though these pubs are miles away from me. It's still nice to hear that they have opted for then Bitcoin payment. Yay!

Where are you based?

Let's drink for Bitcoin.

So do you need a particular iphone/Andriod app for that?  Or is it a case of scanning a barcode and sending the relevant amount from a web wallet such as Coinbase?

Any Windows Phone equivalent app?

Not sure about windows phones, but i-phone does not support a mobile wallet. Android phones do though.

Using a web wallet is possible though it is a bit more of a fuss than using a mobile wallet.

There is a petition urging apple to support a bitcoin wallet and you can see/sign it here...

I've got a blockchain.info app on my ipod (I dont use an iphone, ipod + wifi is good enough for my cheap ass) and I keep around 25$ worth of btc in my blockchain wallet when I want to go out and do real-world spending. ofc I haven't found any real place I want to spend money yet as I live in a remote place, but I have tried it out by sending tiny amounts from one wallet client to another by scanning qr codes. Very simple and easy to use.

PS. I will be in Paris all summer and would love to try it out for reals, esp. if I can buy booze. Why do Parisiennes resist adopting the btc so hard? cant find anything there :-(

Despite the website looking like something from the 80s

Which is a good thing. I'm sick of all these morons who just finished some course on web design and wanna show off their "skills" and then fill their web sites with all kinds of applets, flash, Java, etc., and the sites end up not showing correctly on a lot of browsers. Unless needed because of their specific purposes, sites should stick to basic, 100% compliant HTML as much as possible. I write all my sites on PSPad, by the way. They may look simple but they work for everyone. If 10% of viewers have trouble viewing your web site, that means 10K less users out of 100K visitors. OK, I've vented it all out now, feeling much better.

here's a little something you will enjoy then http://www2.warnerbros.com/spacejam/movie/jam.htm

Surely more people should get on this? Without iPhone support it will never reach the masses. A quick easy way to pay on mobile seems to be the future of bitcoin. Without Apple it's very limited.

Apple is a minority of the smartphone market  It will reach the masses even without this so-called "iphone"

They have wifi in the Devonshire pub (one of the bitcoin-accepting pubs) so you would be able to use your iPod touch there, not sure about the other one in Cambridge...

I used iPhone with blockchain.info app (as a hot wallet with only 1 BTC loaded on it)
