Google phone finds the best price for you

| | Comments (0) |

GooglePhoneAndroid.jpgYou are in a store, contemplating buying a particular item. But you are not sure if a rival or online retailer sells it for less. What do you do?

Whip out your Google phone and use the ShopSavvy application, which scans the bar code on the item using a camera built into the phone. Then it tells you who else is selling it and for how much. You can get results by proximity (using a GPS system) or see prices online.

How cool is that?

If you go with online results, you can connect to that retailer's Web site or e-mail yourself or a friend the link. If you go with brick-and-mortar results, you can get a map to the store or call for directions.

The ShopSavvy application also lets you read reviews by other consumers.

Watch a video about ShopSavvy below.

Plus, the Google phone is $380 cheaper over a two year contract than rival iPhone. Thanks, Ryan!
