Demy – Kitchen Recipe Computer
Demy Kitchen Safe Touchscreen Recipe Reader, will retail for $299. This is something I’ve wanted for quite some time. We have a whole drawer stuff with recipes, and it’d be great to have them available on a device like this.
It syncs with your computer, holds 2500 recipes, has a built-in timer, conversion tool so you can conversion portions for one measurement to another, and even has a list of integredient substitutions. Pretty cool.
Skype for iPhone
March 30th, 2009… That’s the day when Skype is going to hit the iTunes App store, and you’ll be able to use it on your iPhone.
The app will work only over Wi-Fi, but will be available for free.
There isn’t video available, so you won’t be doing any video chats on the phone, but you will be able to talk for free to other Skype users, and make reduced cost calls to regular telephones.
Skype is planning on a version for the Blackberry, which will be released in May.
