Another time saver from Apple

So you want to buy something from the Apple stores wall display and you can't find sales person (whatever the approved apple term for them is) well now you can scan and go.  I used the new service and I have to say it is really easy.  What the app does is that it turns your iPhone into a barcode scanner and then charges you for the item.  Once this is done then you simply pick up you item and go.   It was really simple.  Of course you have to have an iPhone and an iTunes account but I suspect that there are few Apple users that don't have either.

So what did I buy?  The Trackpad and it is really good.   Given the size of the iMac screen I found that I was zooming the mouse all over the place and after a while this was becoming tiresome.  The Trackpad seems the answer - although it is taling a little time to get use to all the functionality - over 20 years of using a mouse can't be forgotten overnight!  Other than that I think it should be a good investment.
