An iPhone app is on the way to locate any comic shops around you using GPS. While Diamond's Comic Shop Locator has been online at their site for some time, this app make it easy to pull the location up on a map, get directions, and call it on the spot.

But while I heartily approve of integrating smart phone into every aspect of your life possible until all your friends yell at you for not experiencing life in a normal way anymore, unless you live in New York or LA there aren't that many comic book shops in your town to choose from. It's probably only going to be useful for first-time shoppers or tourists visiting a new city, but hey -- if you can use the iPhone to find liquor, wifi, and bathrooms, why not comics?
