Google Product Search for Mobile
July 3rd, 2007 MobileFreak
Today’s mobile website is on another service from Google that let’s you quickly find the lowest price on whatever you are shopping for.
Google Product Search for Mobile
Dubbed “Product Search for Mobile”, this service is one of the Google Labs projects, which, according to Google, are “not ready for prime time.” Nonetheless, it worked just fine in our examples.
The typical scenario where this service works best is when you are at a store ready to purchase a high dollar item such as a new flatscreen HD TV, or a new LG front-loading dishwasher, and you want to make sure you are not paying too much. Use your mobile phone to browse over to the Google Product Search for Mobile website, and type in the product you want to buy. The site returns a listing of where the product is available, and at what price.
It is a good idea to enter as much detail about the product as possible when searching. There can often be differences between the product models displayed on this site and the model you are eyeing at the store. For this reason, it is important to compare apples to apples and be sure you are comparing the same product and the same, or at least close to the same, features.
Google also has an online version for when you are at your PC, which you can find here.
