In the Bag Shopping List

JDR Computing has updated its In the Bag Shopping List to version 1.2.1.

In the Bag is a shopping list program that does all of the following:

  • Saves you time at the store. In the Bag sorts your list at the store so you can systematically move through the store instead of going back and forth from department to department.
  • Keeps one list for all your stores. When you are at the store, In the Bag shows you everything on your list that can be obtained at that store. Then if you purchase it there, it is gone from the list when you go to another store.
  • Is with you any time your mobile device is with you. No more paper notes.
  • Does not require you to enter price or other extra data. You can add a new item by just entering a name and selecting a department. Then you can use that same item again on subsequent shopping trips.
  • Get up to speed quickly. Let's face it: keeping track of your shopping list is not rocket science. In the Bag keeps it simple. After a couple of shopping trips you'll be totally up to speed.

An In the Bag user explains it as follows:
"With In the Bag on my handheld I select items from the 'Add to List' view, the items show up on the shopping list for all the stores that sell the particular item, in the order that I shop the store and when I purchase the item and check out it goes back to the 'Add to List' ready to be used again. Nothing could be easier."

Simply enter the items you need to purchase, or select from a list of over 100 common household items. When you are at the store, your list of items for that store is sorted in the right order based on the departments you have configured. When you check out, In the Bag records the date and price (if configured) for future review.

When you add a new item, you specify the "department" for that item. A department is just a section of the store, e.g., Produce, Dairy, or Aisle 11 at a grocery, Automotive or Electronics at a mass-merchandiser, Cats at a pet store, or Men's Clothing at a clothing store. In the Bag is preloaded with over 50 common departments, but you can enter additional departments as it makes sense for your shopping habits.

When you setup a store, you select which departments are in the store, and you order the departments according to the way you normally move through the store. We recommend you set this up on your first visit to the store with In the Bag. After that you're all set for future visits.

In the Bag does not interact with your phone carrier's network, and therefore does not generate any data charges.

Try a free 30-day trial today!

Features:

  • Sorts the shopping list in the correct order at the store.
  • Keeps one list and filters according to the store at which you are shopping.
  • Remembers each item for easy future use.
  • Tracks your purchase history with price (if configured) for each item.
  • Quick setup and easy to get started.
  • Designed for Windows Mobile.

This sounds like a program my wife could use. She's always forgetting what she went to the store for! *Ducks* But, with categorization and the ability to add stores and items as desired, this sounds like a pretty sweet app! Takes the guesswork outta doing the shopping.

SnappySeeker for Windows Mobile Pocket PC

The folks at iambic have updated their SnappySeeker for Windows Mobile Pocket PC to version 1.2!

SnappySeeker is a practical utility that helps you quickly launch various Internet searches using mobile friendly sites such as Google, Yahoo!Finance, Amazon, Wikipedia and much more.

Being a stand-alone application, it can be mapped to any external buttons on your device, or added as an icon to your current Today-screen utilities.

SnappySeeker is a very convenient and time-saving tool for those of you who love to search the web on your Pocket PC's!

Why not use Pocket Internet Explorer Favorites?

Assuming you have popular websites such as Google, Yahoo!Finance, Amazon, Wikipedia, etc. in your Favorites list, it takes up to 3 taps after Pocket Internet Explorer is open to execute a simple Web search. Even more taps are required to use any of the other search types such as maps, images, groups, Froogle, news, shop, software, or other mobile searches.

SnappySeekerputs all this search power in JUST ONE TAP!

And, with such a user-friendly interface, you'll love how easy it is to navigate and categorize your searches!

Features:

  • With SnappySeeker, you have the choice to search the Web, Images, Gmail, Shop, News, Stocks, Maps, Groups, Software, Mobile, Books, and Wikipedia with absolute ease.
  • Simply type your query in the text box and press the appropriate thumb-sized category button to launch the search.
  • The search results will open through your default web browser, which will most likely be Pocket IE.
  • If you want to quickly launch the web browser without doing a search, simply tap the appropriate category button while leaving the search field blank.

What a great idea! Searching from the Today screen and only needing one tap to start the ball'a'rolling!! This sounds like it would be a great app!

Get it here, it's only $4.95!!


That's it for this week's software roundup. Thanks for joining us! We'll be back next for more software news and updates. Happy New Year!
