A self standing Wifi scanner to be placed next to where you discard products. No Sync. No missing scanner. And they claim to have a Voice Recogn sys to deal with non barcoded items. If they make it happens it could do to the grocery shopping what IPOD did to music. In fact Ipod did not have different features from the Rio players. Just better capacity and UI. And they revolucionize the music industry... These guys are claiming to have diferent features from CueCat.

"Perhaps the writers over at CrunchGear are too young to remember the venerable CueCat..." -- ooo... fight fight fight fight! lol j/k Hey Peter,
Looks like techdirt’s goin’ after your ass! lol

I have a pen, some post-it notes, and a basic ability to know that plastic goes in the plastic bin for recycling. That seems exactly as useful as this, and less likely to cost hundreds of dollars and break repeatedly. I really want the "online fridge" to die as the canonical implementation of pervasive computing, because it's a horrible example - it's a solution in search of a problem.
