Price Check by Amazon
Amazon's Price Check app is another way to compare prices. You can scan the product's barcode, take a photo of the item, say the name into the mic, or type the name of the product into the search box. Of course, the app also makes it easy for you if you're standing in a store, and see the product for less at Amazon, to simply tap your finger a few more times and buy it from the online retailer.
Catalog By The Find
OK, this app is for the iPad only, but for those who love to shop, it's worth checking out. The Find's Catalogue aggregates catalogs from leading retailers such as Crate & Barrel, J.Crew, Gaiam, Nordstrom, and Saks, among others. The app makes it easy to browse the catalog, save products that you like, and click through to make a purchase. That means no more folding down pages of a catalog or using sticky notes to mark your favorites.
