anyone tried this yet? the only companies in KC that support it so far is Yellow Cab (and, by extension, SuperShuttle).

Taxi Magic is the first nationwide free online taxi booking service that is directly integrated with taxi dispatch systems.
- Book from your mobile phone or the Web with a few quick taps.
- Track the arrival of your taxi.
- Charge the ride to your credit card.
- Expense the trip with an e-receipt.

available for iphone, android, blackberry, and webOS.

have it installed, never used it....usually just call or walk to where I know taxis will be

Nifty if it would work.  Installed on my Evo and tried to punch in my address.  It kept changing the street name and wouldn't get it right.

shame it only works w/ Yellow Cab. They're the devil.

yellow cab is the homophobic cab company?

I've used it many times on my pre....works fine.

I used this twice yesterday....quick and like the status updates of what cab #, driver name, how far away they are.  Both times the cab driver calls me to make sure I did call a cab though, that was weird.

well TK I can't say that the whole company is, but individual drivers of theirs certainly are. and others have refused to take me because they said the fare wasn't worth their time. i try and avoid Yellow Cab at all costs. Atlas Cab is who i usually call.

I am having my lawyer look into possible trademark infringements here. I expect a major lawsuit which I hope will result in free taxis for all.

Glad that yellowcab has fully integrated this into their systems. It has worked for the past 2 years but wasn't entirely integrated. Now, even on yellow cab's website they have a widget there to book a cab.

Entirely frustrating when some cabbie bitches about your credit card or doesn't have a machine that works.

I love this because I can book a cab without talking to anyone and then I can pay in the cab as I arrive to the airport.  No fumbling around with cabbies trying to make carbon copies of receipts and then waiting for their slow ass system to process.

The individual drivers always call me anyways. No bigger but kind of annoying.

I had an idea just this weekend that would improve the functionality of this app but it is escaping me right now. 

Still isn't working for me.  If I punch in my home address (Plaza/Westport hood) it says it's too far or wrong city.

Weird.  Works for me in Volker.
