After several rounds of legal hand-wringing, we have finally made it: New Yorkers can now hail a yellow cab with but a nimble flick of a touch screen, thanks to a new app from Uber. The app enjoyed a brief stay in the city last September, before it was cast out at the hands of the Taxi and Limousine Commission and delayed further by angry livery car drivers who claimed that allowing passengers to "ehail" yellow cabs was illegal on the basis that it constitutes a "prearranged" ride.
