The CueCat Rides Again

Admittedly I'm a Luddite when it comes to tiny, expensive electronic toys; I never see the point and I hate carrying yet more crap around (plus they always make them so droppable. WHY WOULD YOU MAKE A THREE-HUNDRED DOLLAR CELLPHONE SLIPPERY?).

But it's with an extra jaundiced eye that I read a breathless review of the Groqit. It's tiny! It scans yer stuff! It keeps you from buying yet another copy of Steel Magnolias!














It's also already been done.

    No, the Cuecat is a tethered scanner. The pen in the picture had no display and minimal storage.

    The Groqit is a portable inventory computer (128MB) with a barcode reader. It scans, stores and searches barcode lists.

    The little silver cone at the end is equivalent to the Cuecat. The rest of the system is like a PDA.
