- bixby1, on 11/22/2008, -0/+54I'm a whore for anything that gets me information faster. A whore I tell you.
- FirstDigg, on 11/22/2008, -0/+52Found in the comments on techcrunch:
Don’t own an iPhone? No problem. You can access the same information on virtually any camera phone, just snap a picture and send it via MMS to fun@snaptell.com or use the shortcode SNAPIT (762748) on ATT. - oboshoe, on 11/22/2008, -1/+34It works too.
I took a picture of a street hooker, and it sent me back a recommendation on where to download the Paris Hilton video for free. - sockpuppets, on 11/22/2008, -2/+25I'm a whore because I stick my penis in strange places.
- divinediva, on 11/22/2008, -1/+18Awesome app, This is one cool thing.
- fliptiger, on 11/22/2008, -1/+16Bargain?
- EmperorChow, on 11/22/2008, -2/+14It's more, after they own an iPhone they must bargain hunt.
- zimmbear, on 11/22/2008, -0/+9OH YOU!
- eigenweasel, on 11/22/2008, -1/+10No, it shows a picture of the Nokia that does the same things for half the price.
- mrswirl, on 11/22/2008, -3/+12Yeah for my Android G1 and ShopSavvy - it takes awesome shots of barcodes.
- greenlight2001, on 11/22/2008, -1/+8A whore would let penises go into their own 'strange places'. Sticking YOUR penis in strange places is just a guy's good clean fun!
- redgiemental, on 11/22/2008, -0/+6Sounds very nice
- eighttracks, on 11/22/2008, -0/+6How do you figure that? The one on the G1 works for any product with a barcode, not just CD's and DVD's...
- reyalp, on 11/23/2008, -0/+6Japan says "Welcome to 2002"
- cyclonesworld, on 11/22/2008, -0/+5Tried this app on my iPhone and it does work like it says it does but it's slow compared to the barcode look up of ShopSavy on my G1. To put things in perspective as well, the iPhone is connected to wifi only and my G1 was connected only using Edge. Guess thats the difference when you have to upload a picture instead of just a number...
That article mentions that the iPhone can't photograph barcodes very well. I'm guessing that's because of the complete lack of auto-focus. All of you iPhone fanboys who are like "Haha the iPhone is better!", see the part in the article where they mention this app is going to Android phones soon and with MORE FEATURES.
This was cool, now I'll put my iPhone back in the drawer. - Zhag89, on 11/22/2008, -0/+5Hey man I have an iPhone and I love it, but the one on the G1 is far much better.
***** blind fanboy - random12345, on 11/22/2008, -0/+5I see what you did there.
- loyalKNG, on 11/22/2008, -0/+5Wow that is very cool! Now i dont have to stand around fiddling with the little sucker to find out info. Just take a pic and go, nice.
- joegibes, on 11/22/2008, -0/+4Tried it; works!
- joehobbes, on 11/22/2008, -0/+4I have a G1 (android) and I'll take CompareAnywhere over this anyday.
- julianmaestas, on 11/22/2008, -0/+4bargin =/= bargain
lr2spell - adkenc, on 11/22/2008, -1/+5i was thinking this sounds like its along the same lines as shopsavvy...just not as good?
- RyeBrye, on 11/22/2008, -0/+4Pardon me, but your fanboy is showing. You might want to zip that up.
- xevidentx, on 11/23/2008, -0/+2or perhaps you're a iphone user who thinks paying $100 a month for cell phone use is a good value.
sucker - sockpuppets, on 11/22/2008, -5/+7If you use this to scan a new iphone do you go back in time?
- inactive, on 11/23/2008, -0/+2@eigenweasel:
Nice. - RyeBrye, on 11/22/2008, -0/+2Is it a 1st gen iPhone? Which drawer is it in?
Don't get me wrong, I have a G1 - but there are better uses for an iPhone than putting it in a drawer. - Lane, on 11/23/2008, -0/+2Now if only it automatically cross referenced the pic with an ebay search for completed listings.
- dewsnider, on 11/22/2008, -0/+1The only problem I have with a lot of these apps, at least on Android, is that they claim to give you local results, but almost never do. THAT is what I'm waiting for!
- ggko, on 11/23/2008, -0/+1I downloaded this the other day and it works nicely for the (domestic) product types it accepts. Though I didn't try using the shopping and review search features, just getting the whizbang delight in "wow it identified the item!"
It was able to recognize items among mild clutter on the desk, one turned sideways, and another upside down at an angle. When I tried two books side by side, it tended to favor one over the other regardless to left-right positioning.
However, i think it might still be easier to just use Amazon's mobile site to look up item info in a pinch, (and for more than just entertainment media.) - Stonekeeper, on 11/22/2008, -0/+1Wouldn't it be easier/better to have an app that decodes a picture of a barcode?
- InorganicMatter, on 11/22/2008, -0/+1My idea of bargain hunting is to head to the DVD section with the iPhone Netflix app. :D
- ultrafez, on 11/23/2008, -0/+1Not all iPhone users are tech-savvy, a lot of them are Mac-slinging hipsters.
- ShoppeRandom, on 11/22/2008, -2/+3great another stupid useless app I have to get now.
- Truedirt, on 11/22/2008, -0/+1While this application is indeed impressive, it is not the only one shoppers assistants available out there. The G1 for instance, it is loaded with an application from ShopSavvy which turns the phone into a bar code scanner. Here how it works: You go to a store and point the phone lens to a product bar code and it scans it and send the data to ShopSavvy's database for a quick price comparison online and a list of local stores and product reviews.
Another cool feature of this application is an email alert. For that to work, you submit your e-mail address and your preferred price for a particular product; ShopSavvy will then send you an alert when the price drops to your likening.
For more ,see liink:http://newscradlecom.blogspot.com/2008/11/smart-ph ... - Tddupre, on 11/22/2008, -0/+1it's not useless if it saves money
- PabloMac, on 11/22/2008, -0/+1No spellcheck feature.
- Callidus, on 11/22/2008, -1/+2That's what she...said? ;(
- kjones555, on 11/23/2008, -0/+1Wait...you got a G1 and iphone?
- geoffrey, on 11/23/2008, -0/+1You must be a dirty whore because this app didn't even recognize a 12-pack of Coke. Really.
- darkciti2, on 11/22/2008, -0/+1Neat. I just tried it and it works as described.
Only works on books, dvds, cds and video games though.
It didn't recognize my twinkie box (or my Coca cola).
You can't beat the free price tag either. - wassim2k, on 11/23/2008, -1/+21. Go to google
2. Type "define: bargin"
3. Get response: "No definitions were found for bargin."
4. Leave in confused state.
5. Realize Digg submitter is jackass. - PilotHead, on 11/23/2008, -0/+1Wonder where they got that idea
- inactive, on 11/23/2008, -1/+2Ughh lame response.
- inactive, on 11/23/2008, -0/+1Unless they are new to AT&T, then they get a pretty good deal!
- inactive, on 11/23/2008, -0/+1http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=I4xKlbeHLf4
- inactive, on 11/23/2008, -0/+1Great? Yes.
Stupid and/or useless? No.
