On Thursday, April 23, 2009, Google released their Product Search for the Apple iPhone and Android-powered smartphones. Product Search allows bargain hunters to search for items that are gathered from a variety of different shopping sites. It also lets users read product reviews and get more information of something they're thinking about buying.
On Google's Mobile Blog, Rob Stacey, a Google mobile software engineer, states:
"Say you're in a store and having a hard time deciding between two products. Instead of waiting to go home to check the internet for ratings and reviews, you can now get all of this information right there on the spot. Just take out your phone, go to Google.com in your browser, and try out Google Product Search for mobile. From Google.com, type in a query and then tap on the "shopping" link that appears in the search results. Or, tap on the "more" tab and then "shopping" to get to Product Search directly."
Intuitive huh? We're really excited about this release for bargain hunters because it allows them to be more shrewd as shoppers by comparing prices and getting more information on things they're thinking about purchasing, while they're already out shopping.
If you have an iPhone, you should definitely check it out. Watch the release video below. You gotta love that background music!
