Something like this or coinmap would be a great app. Is it worldwide?

So what do you do when Coinscout and your iphone find you a nice restaurant but you left your droid which has your BTC wallet in it at home?

I dont think you can use your iphone to pay in BTC as apple does not support bitcoin wallets. You would probably need to have a paper bitcoin wallet in hand I guess to pay the bill or you would be stuck washing dishes.

This would take off if apple allowed btc in the payment apps of iphone ipad though...

I can use the blockchain.info app on mine.
