Do we really need an iPhone grocery list?
OK, maybe things are getting pushed a bit too far. This week, iPhone developers have released an application called Grocery iQ that “makes grocery shopping easier, saves time, and helps organize the chore.”
Makes grocery shopping easier? Easier than pushing a cart down an aisle? Easier than reading off a handwritten list of items? Or simply using the Notes function on the iPhone?
Ah, but Grocery iQ has a search engine that accesses a database of 130,000 items for more detail. You also can store your favorite items and shopping history. Or you can group items by aisle in your local market “to avoid wasted time backtracking.”
And all this for $4.99.
