If you are lucky enough to live in the UK, you can soon order groceries from you Pocket PC. They are getting ready to beta test and are looking for volunteers. So, if you time, live in the UK and are hungry, apply for the beta. Pre-requisites are that you have a Pocket PC 2000 or 2002 and a cradle-sync, plus the option of a direct internet connection should you want to place an order when you are far from your cradle. You must also be a registered Tesco.com customer or you can register for free. They cover more than 90% of the UK.
Shown are a few screen shots, searching for products in the Tesco database and syncing information with their server. They anticipate going live by May. Someone email me when Tesco opens up a store in Tennessee. :-)
