IPhone – Zagat 3.0
Earlier this month, we provides up a sneak peek of Zagat to Go 3.0 for iPhone. On Wednesday, the premium application for browsing restaurant and nightlife ratings ($9.99) became available in the Application Store on iTunes and on your iPod Touch or iPhone.
Zagat 3.0 for iPhone is a significant launch that wraps in augmented reality, just like Yelp’s competing application does for iPhone 3GS phones (augmented reality won’t work on 3G phones for either application).
Zagat trying to out-Yelp Yelp? Probably, and the application certainly provides new, competitive services while trying to reach its aim.
Zagat also arguably one-ups Yelp by providing an offline mode, and by the phone itself addingcomplete reviews. But be forewarned, offline mode takes up a memory chunk and is slowww to download, and any one other than die-hard Zagat fans may be loathe to shell out $10 for quippy reviews.
