SnapTell Lets You Lookup Products on Your iPhone
There's a new, free iPhone app on the App Store there called SnapTell Explorer that's going to make buying stuff even easier (though no more spiritually satisfying). Essentially, you take a photo of the cover of any CD, DVD, book, or video game, and it automatically identifies the product and finds ratings and pricing information online. And, remarkably, it works.
It's not perfect, however; once you locate a product, you have to link to stores like Amazon to get the information, rather than said information just coming up in the window. There's also no way to view prices across multiple stores (though this will apparently be included in the next release, which should be in the next few weeks).
Basically, much like the app's rather ugly name, SnapTell is just a bit awkward; it's not as slick as it should be, and it's slow when using EDGE. And for you G1 users, the app will be coming to Android soon as well.
Yaaaay capitalism. [From: TechCrunch]

The G1 doesn't need it. The barcode is much more perfect and doesn't need to rely on more complex image bank comparisons to determine what it is.
