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.

The app will work only over Wi-Fi, but will be available for free.

Skype is planning on a version for the Blackberry, which will be released in May.
