Another great review James!

Does the module store your custum recipies on the module or on the Visor?

I would actually recommend printing out a recipe if you're afraid of getting anything on your Visor. You could also try using the screenshield that comes with the Geode.

Does the module have any flash memory at all?

Reason being that it seems like the module itself could be greatly improved upon on the software level.

I mean at the moment it seems to fit into the category of really neat toy.

If it were able to keep track of what you had in your kitchen right now... and to identify how many eggs you needed instead of how many recipes wanted eggs.. then it would be something I'd want.

I mean imagine getting done with work, whipping out your recipe module, pressing the what can I make already option, and deciding whether or not you need to pick something up at the store, if all you can make is nachos, press the what can do I have 75% of needed supplies for, and look at the easiest options.

That and integrating some better cooking time data.

The beauty of handhelds is that the end up being more functional than many higher powered computers because you can take them anywhere, because of this they can adapt to can be integrated into many new decisions and scenarios where before computers really weren't any easy option. That is what the design of this module fails at. It doesn't address the what should a handheld database do, that you wouldn't do on the desktop?

The module's features seem to fall short to me, because it really doesn't do anything that a normal cookbook and photocopier does besides take less space. And it is so close to being so cool.

another question: does it do US to metric conversions?

Kg

I have palyed with recipe software that suggests recipies based on what you currently have in your fridge. That would be a nice feature.

While on the subject of recipes...

Here's a blatant plug for my wife's website:
