  Al> Sorry, but i'm not sure i follow. Do you mean something like

  Al> 1. Have list of (say) 10 grocery items in org-mode.

Yes (actually I have about 80 items in my Springpad list; if the
full list consists of mere 10 items, it fits the screen of my
smartphone, and there is no real need to hide the checked items).

Possibly so.  Actually all the performed items get checked as I
buy them, and those which for some reason I could not buy should
preserve their open (unchecked, unimplemented) status.  So
normally I need not perform this step (provided that what I have
checked at the store gets synchronized back to the Big Brother);
but in some infrequent cases it is nice to have such a command
(though I guess it can be easily done with an M-% in emacs).

  Al> 3. Uncheck (say) 3 items that are 'needed'.
  Al> 4. Run org-mobile-push.

Do I have to do it manually every time (more than once)?  Aren't
such files synchronized automatically?

  Al> 5. MobileOrg displays only the 3 'needed' items; the other 7

Yes (in fact, normally there are more of them, a dozen at least).

  Al> Is that correct?

Yes.  Normally (b) is sufficient for me, because normally I have
just a screenful of interesting items.  But I can imagine that
people who need longer shopping lists (more that one screen of
them) would prefer to have a MobileOrg command to hide the
newly-checked items as well.
