How a Smartphone Could Save You Money When You Shop
Smartphones are getting cheaper and cheaper every day, with the simple ones like Palm's Centro available for well under $100 now, and the fancier new ones like the Apple iPhone or Android-toting G1 for well under $200. Yes, that's not exactly loose change for most, but did you know that today's intelligent handsets might just help you save some money in the long run?
The idea is that an Internet-capable phone enables you to shop online while you're shopping in a store. The G1 is particularly good at this, enabling you to take a picture of the bar code of any product and then run it through an application called ShopSavvy, demonstrated in the video above. That application will bring up reviews of whatever it is you're holding and even find you the best price, so you can know whether or not you're getting a good deal without driving all over town. It's the same sort of thing you'd do when comparison shopping online before ordering something from a given retailer, so why not do it when out in the real world, too? Besides, it's not like you really need much of an excuse to get a new phone, right? [From: The New York Times]
