http://www.uber.com/learn http://www.uber.com/learn It seems WAY more expensive than regular cabs (even livery taxis), not more convenient than livery taxis, and most importantly, as you mentioned, it's not really hard to get a cab in Manhattan. I could possibly see it working in Brooklyn and Queens, but I don't see any difference in the service they offer compare to the livery companies, so it would just be another competitor in a saturated market. Maybe I'm just missing their edge, but as a New Yorker and a techie I'd seem myself as their prime audience and can't imagine wanting to use it.
