Do you own an Apple iPhone? If so, get RedLaser. It costs $1.99 and it
more than paid for itself the first time I used it. I have now saved
perhaps $100 in the past few weeks because of this program.
RedLaser
converts your iPhone into an indispensable shopping companion. Have you
ever seen a store employee in a grocery store or major chain store
scanning product bar codes? Now you can do the same thing: you use the
iPhone's built-in camera to scan the bar code on almost any product
available for sale.
Now, here is the best part: unlike the store
employee who is using a handheld scanner, your iPhone will immediately
connect to RedLaser's servers on the Internet and look for a better
price, either online, mailorder, or in any local store that has its
catalog online. To find local store prices, RedLaser uses the iPhone's
internal GPS to determine your longitude and latitude and then looks
for stores within a few miles of your present location.
The
program uses the Internet to pull down a list of prices so you can see
if you’re getting a good deal. You can scan a bar code and RedLaser
will then display a list of stores with better prices within two or
three seconds.
