Yeah! We need 'senior apps.' ! For those of us who can't remember why we 
walked into this room -- a list of reasons why we've walked into it 
before. A gps of the house with all the places where I might have left 
my car keys. And all of those 'smart appliances' and things? I want a 
hand-held that compares my shopping list to what's in my shopping cart, 
since I usually get home with at least one thing that I didn't remember 
to get (in most cases, the most important).

Now THERE'S a growing market ;-).
