Locavore 1.0 for the iPhone

This is pretty cool:  Locavore 1.0 will let you know what's in season in your area and where to find it.  I haven't tried this application, but for those of you with iPhones, the app's developer says it will tell you what fruits and vegetables are currently in season near you wherever you are (using GPS technology) via information from the Natural Resources Defense Council and where your nearest farmers' market is via information from localharvest.org.  All this info is already available online (and some of the seasonal information is a bit iffy in the accuracy department), but for the $2.99 purchase price for this app, if I had an iPhone I'd definitely give it a try.
