I downloaded a grocery list app (named “groceries” of all things.
Anyway, it’s a simple list, and I set my iPad in the child seat and touch “2x” and the list fills the screen. Touch each item’s red dot and it strikes through that item but doesn’t delete it. Cool. I can read and manipulate it while it sits there in the baby seat, no hassle.
And it’s pretty. 
Peace,

My partner and I both have iphones (and an ipad), and we use an app called Grocery Gadget. It’s a little clunky, but what we love about it is that you can set up a group, so that when I add milk to my list it is also added to his list. It’s awesome!
No more, “I went to the store!”
“Did you get milk?”
“I didn’t know we needed milk.”
Just make sure no one lifts your ipad out of the cart while you’re sniffing the melons.
One hand on the melon, one hand and two eyes on the iPad.
You mean that when you add milk to the list on your phone, it’s also sent to his phone?
Cool. But, alas, I have no partner. 
I thought this thread was going to be about a wobbly table.
Nah. It’s too slick. The leg keeps slipping off. A Kotex, folded if needed, works much better.
We have Palm Pilots right now and use a grocery shopping app called HandyShopper. LOVE LOVE LOVE it.
The best feature it has: you can associate a single item with multiple stores, and it remembers the aisles the item is in, in each store (admittedly you have to set that up initially and it’s something it’s taken us years to do, an item at a time). Then depending on which store you shop at, you can have it sort them in aisle order for that location.
So far the only app I’ve found there for iPhone that has that specific functionality is Splash Shopper. Which doesn’t exist yet for the Droid (and apparently they’re not planning on doing that either).
But yeah - this capability is the single thing we use most on the handhelds (aside from phone/address) and it’s a driving factor behind choosing which platform to upgrade to. Right now we’re looking at switching to iPod Touch units (specifically because of Splash Shopper, seriously) and hoping that either an app will be developed for the Droid, or Verizon gets the iPhone in a couple of years.
Huh. And all this time I’ve been using paper lists & placing a tiny tear in the side of the paper to indicate that I’ve completed that item. Who knew that what I really needed was a $500 gadget!
<sorry, I just had to chime in with my sarcasm. I, too, want an iPad.>
Practical use for an iPad? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAl28d6tbko, imo.
Paper! How gauche!
BTW; by the time I was done, bigger hard drive and Leopard for my iMac, I was $1000 into it. But now everything works great.
I’ve been waiting for that.
What an idiot! Ruined a perfectly good blender. The guy deserves a :rolleyes:.
I want an iPhone, but my husband would want one too, and so when my contract came up for renewal and my old phone was starting to show problems, I got a free phone from AT&T (which extended my contract, and I’m fine with that). My husband and I are about a year apart on renewal cycles of these two-year contracts, so at some point we’re going to have to bite the bullet and one of us will pay a fair amount for their new iPhone while the other gets the cheap-with-contract-renewal upgrade.
Anyway, I found that I will update lists on my Palm Pilot (also showing signs of electronics breakdown, including the left upper corner of the touchpad no longer responding to the stylus) but not on paper. :smack: Same with calendar entries, that kind of thing. So electronics are apparently my friend, I guess.
I love that company. They get millions of views for each video and all they have to do is toss something in a blender. I’m sure not many buy blenders after watching those but with a low production cost and millions of views, who cares? I wish I could get people to watch videos of my products like the blender guys do. They deserve a 
I hope you don’t think ol’ mangeorge is serious. 
Silliness is my chicken soup.
A real bargain for you.
I believe there’s a similar app that actually uses your GPS and will tell you the most efficient route to shop in the store. It takes a bit of setting up (You have to mark off the item exactly where you picked it up, and do this a bunch of times so it will know the layout of the store.) but it sounds pretty cool.
So if a mugger is tracking you, he can just wait around the corner in the meat aisle for you to show up.
Guess I’d better use a ;).
What we need is an app that maps stores.
My son does our grocery shopping. I make the (paper) list for him before he goes.
I write everything on the list in the order in which he will find it on the shelves.
I’m not even sure what an iPad is.
So buy the poor kid a new iPhone!
Sheesh. Wassa matter with parents now days anyway?
Which is great, until the evil buggers change the store layout, which they seem to do periodically in the UK to force you to have to look for stuff instead of following a usual route.
