no starbucks love

The release day has come for the Starbucks/wi-fi iTunes Store promotion to begin and, at least in New York, NY, there seem to be problems.

When testing the system at five out of five Starbucks locations in the SOHO and Astor Place neighborhoods the iphone gave an "unable to connect to the itunes store" error.

I was in a hurry when checking the full abilities of the iPhone once on the Starbucks networks. Most of the testing was simply pulling out the iphone as I walked by on my way to a meeting. Check back for an update and second testing.

UPDATE: I’ve been meaning to stop into some more Starbucks and text the network again but… I must confess… I don’t drink coffee so I’m hardly in a Starbucks.
