Get online price comparisons from your cellphone with Frucall
Bummed out that Google changed its product pricing and comparison from Froogle to the infinitely duller "Google Product Search?" Well, lucky for you, there's a similarly priced product out there that kinda, sorta provides the same service.Frucall is a mobile price comparison service just making its way out of beta. You can search products by entering the UPC numbers on their barcodes, or by searching via SMS. If you're out shopping and happen to see a must-have doodad in the store, you can send a quick message to Frucall and it will either send you back a message with price comparisons or you can listen to a digitized voice reading you the best prices it can find online for the product.

Wow, that's actually kind of handy. I don't know about America but there are a lot of stores around here that claim to have the cheapest price on the market for every product. If you prove them wrong you pay the lowest price you can find. This is really useful!

Comparison is getting old. Would be nice if it was something a bit more innovative, rather than a rehash.

There's a lot more you can do with a price comparison service for cell phones. Check out mShopper (http://www.mshopper.com). They let you save, share, or buy products on your phone, and they run all sorts of special offers. Price comparison is just the beginning of where this is going.
