Home Theater mag has a new product announcement for something called a Groqit that sounds like it would work for making lists portable, and scanning barcodes.  It's $95.00

The web site is www.groqit.com.

Has anyone put one of these things through its paces?  Does it work?

If it does, its the cheapest thing since a cue cat for reading bar codes, and does it without needing to be plugged into a computer AND it is set up for carying lists around that you can look up when you're at the store....

They expect customers to enter credit card information in an un-encrypted page!  Seems very professional...

Unbeleivably lame to have an unsecured site taking credit card info.  I can't believe a credit card company would allow this -- it would be inviting theft, wouldn't it? 

There must be soemthing wrong.

Sunny,

Thanks for letting us know about the problem.  There were a couple pages where the Buy button did not link securely to the store.  Those have been corrected.  People can also order through Amazon.

I get the feeling most of you here are a lot more organized than I am.  Well, that and (from the discussion on how to store DVDs) also more settled on a system you like and don't see a need to change.

I'm thinking this Groqit might be a nifty tool for those like me (and I know I'm not the only one) who have a hard time being organized, and tend to buy duplicates and then get upset about it.  Well, I guess that part of the Groqit's functions belongs in the Mobile section. 

But hasn't anyone else been tempted to get the thing as a scanner? I just keep putting off doing the data-entry work.

Do you have scanners that you like?

I've got a very cheap (modified) Cue-cat scanner. Works perfectly.
Unfortunately, I can't use DVDprofiler at the moment due to lack of a Windows computer.
