Wasn't expecting so poor reception on behalf of the OSM community. No

Does this mean that you don't have an iDevice? Don't use Twitter?
Don't like the app? Or just don't find this idea a good one? Or am I
missing something?
To answer your direct questions - No, no, & because of the first answer,
no, & finally I don't see how this promotes OSM. The tweet you provided
does appear to lead fellow coffee drinkers to the OSM website. Please
correct me if I'm misunderstanding the purpose. Oh, & what are
Foursquare, Gowalla?
I use an Android 'phone because I'm not so desperate & insecure that I
have to copy what all my friends have. In general I have to say the apps
that I've used have been poorly programmed by (well meaning) amateurs &
have only only one thing in common - they crash.
Specific to your email, any advertising blurb that contains: "we believe
it is the best. It is as slick as the built-in (Google) Maps" & "
innovative, isn't it?" makes me wary. It's similar to help files that
started "It's really easy, all you have to do is... " The software
always ended up being crap.
Sorry If that's not what you wanted to hear, but that's the way I see
it, and you did ask.
Cheers
Dave F.
