Amazon Launches Dash, a Home Barcode Scanner

Amazon has added another facet to its startup home grocery business Amazon Fresh by adding the ease of Amazon Dash, an in-home barcode scanner to make ordering or re-ordering an even easier task for Amazon customers.

Amazon says over 5,000 items can be ordered through the Dash stick, though for now it’s linked to the company’s experimental AmazonFresh same-day delivery service.

Cue Cat 2.0....?

I would just use their Android app.

Coarse, I wonder how easy it would be to hack to make it into an inventory/POS device.
Hmmm.....

It needs to be about 20% cooler if they're going to name it Dash.

lol, that's exactly what came to mind. That stupid cue cat. I think I might actually still have it sitting in a box somewhere in storage.

Why did amazon feel the need to release a piece of hardware when phone apps already do the same thing? You still need the smart phone app or a computer to complete the purchase anyway.

just wait for the amazon fire fridge to come out, it will self-order things
