Price checking, there’s an app for that
If being a camera, a day planner and an recipe finder wasn’t enough, now your phone can also be a price checker.
Amazon.com earlier this week became the latest company to introduce an iPhone app that allows shoppers to compare in-store prices with prices from Amazon.com and other online merchants.
Price Check by Amazon for iPhone allows users to scan a barcode, snap a photo, or say or type a product name to get prices for that item from Amazon and other online stores.
Customers can then decide if they want to buy the item in the store or online. The free app is available at the iPhone App Store at www.itunes.com/appstore.
For more information, visit http://www.amazon.com/pricecheck.
Eventually our phones won’t need us.
What do you think? Would you use this app?

If you don’t know what an app is you won’t understand anyway. Doesn’t matter if they wrote application.

I just downloaded the “ShopSavvy” app this morning, seems to do all that. Oh, and with regard to the word “app”, I’ve been wondering whether the first “p” is pronounced while the second one is silent, or vice versa. I doubt it should be pronounced with both. LOL

This is a great way to skip out on paying sales taxes - let somebody else pay your way; you have been sucking off the public t*t for so long you don’t even recognize that you are a low-life. Amazon.com competes by cheating on sales taxes. Talk about no morals.
