Green Dreams

Being on the Green Team we get to talk about a lot of things staff has suggested we (CML) do to be green. One of the suggestions is optional receipts for customers (just like at the ATM or gas pump). So I was thinking....wouldn't it be neat if we could have some sort of software that would allow the checkout process to link to your cell phone so that when you pushed the "finish" button your due dates and titles would show up on your phone's calendar and would send you an alarm a couple of days before items were due? Maybe that is an RFID thing. Most (well maybe many) people have cell phones or PDA's and this would eliminate quite a few receipts and help customers keep on track without having to keep up with receipts.

Just a thought :)

All that is needed is tight integration with the calendar in your phone. Most of these types of things just require open systems capable of "talking" to one another (catalog > smartphone OS).
