Amazon has announced and released a new application called Price Check that allows users to scan products inside a physical store and compare it to Amazon’s price. It’s a win/win situation for both sides – customers get the lower price of Amazon and whatever retail store they’re in and Amazon entices customers to shop with them instead if they happen to have the lowest price.
Products are scanned a few different ways. You can do the old barcode scanner, you could take a photo (only works with games, DVDs, Blu Ray movies, CDs or books) or you could simply say the name of the product.
You could even just type in the name of the product name, brand or model number. It’s a very flexible tool that makes it easy to search for the product you want to do a price comparison on. Find the free download in the Android market.
