FW Editor: What are your plans or objectives for the near future?
Ming Zhao: Develop more mobile applications. I have been working on the latest Windows Phone 7 platform, hopefully the Grocery Shopping List for Windows Phone 7 will be available soon.
FW Editor: How and when did you start writing the code for Grocery Shopping List? What inspired you the most? Do you plan to develop new software, or are you more focused on optimizing the current ones?
Ming Zhao: About one year ago. In the weekly grocery shopping I need to buy 20 - 30 different items, so I do need a list to ensure I won't miss any items I want. And the mobile phone is the best container for this list as it always goes with you. After I have optimized the Grocery Shopping List for Windows Phone 7, I could develop other new apllications.
FW Editor: What do you love the most at Grocery Shopping List? Why?
Ming Zhao: It's convenient and helpful on reducing the duplicated work. Instead of writting paper notes for the list every week, Grocery Shopping List users just need to load a previous shopping plan and adjust according to the current demands.
FW Editor: Are you intending to improve Grocery Shopping List in the future? If yes, how do you plan to do that?
Ming Zhao: Yes. With the new powerful features in Windows Phone 7 and new structure of Grocery Shopping List, users will see more friendly user Interface, which means users can apply less finger-operations for the same procedure. A new previous plans management facility will also be provided.
FW Editor: How can you describe Grocery Shopping List in one single word? Why?
Ming Zhao: Buddy. When you are at grocery store and can't remember something you need to buy, or when you are back home and realize something you forgot to buy, you will understand why.
FW Editor: Does Grocery Shopping List support every Mobile Phone device?
Ming Zhao: Right now it supports Windows Mobile Smart Phone 6.x and Windows Mobile Pocket PC 6.x, it will support Windows Phone 7 soon.
FW Editor: How can you describe Grocery Shopping List in one single word? Why?
