Top 3

Here are the Top 3 ideas we need to research:

1.  Battery Powered Heated Coffee Cup

2. Electronic, Programmable Flash Cards

3. Pomegranate Peeler

Anything else?

Let's start doing research for all three.

The Coffee Cup

Time to get down and dirty to see what we can dig up on this potential product.

Sounds good, let's get going on the research.

Electronic flash cards

Develop a device that is similar to a palm pilot that can be used as flash cards.  This would consist of a key board and nothing else, it would be use for kids study who use flash cards but instead of paper it is electronic.  Then there could be a "quiz" function that takes your eFlashcards and randomizes them and then quizzes you.  You would not have to file them or lose them, everything could be saved on it.

On the shopping aid...

So there is a company, Mobile Discovery, that has a new technology - 2D bar codes.  I think if we can come up with a new application of this technology such as a handheld device that can be used in grocery stores that once you scan one of these 2D bar codes you will have pairing suggestions, recipe options, and other similar food/products that people bought.  Here is their website -http://www.mobilediscovery.com, they are currently doing a test trial at Case.  I think if we can jump on the front end of this technology we will be able to leverage the Case trials to come up with both an application for grocery stores and to develop a new product that will help differentiate stores from one another. 

We can talk about this more, but right now this seems like the best idea we have.

Doggy Clean Up Vacuum

What about a dog poop vacuum?

Pomegranate Peeler

What about a Pomegranate peeler?

Financial Crisis

I still think a great opportunity lies in creating a product that will either help people through the financial crisis or something that will help be be smarter with their money.  I definitely think we should dive further into this category of ideas.  

We need to start finding a central theme that we can rally behind and get enthusiastic about, this will help us start small and create a "WOW" product.

Keep up the great work guys...
