Still trying to sell the DS to people who don’t typically play games, Nintendo has plans for an application linking the DS with a supermarket’s inventory so users can simplify their shopping list and find what they need more easily.
Sounds like nothing more than a weekly circular on the handheld but I could see it being useful if, say, you wanted to make a certain meal that evening, it could kick back a recipe with the items you need and – this has been a particular pet peeve of mine – direct you to precisely where they’re located in the store. Because grocery stores never stock the aisles intuitively.
