With the amount of available Google Android Apps out there, it is important that you know what each app does and how it works.  I was looking through a list of Android Apps and one that I found particularly interesting was Compare Everywhere.

I’m not that big of a shopper, but when I buy something big such as a TV, laptop, or a MP3 player, I like to compare the prices to find out where I can get the best deal.  Sometimes, I am already out looking for something I really need, and I don’t have the time to research to find the best prices, and here is where Compare Everywhere would come in handy.

Basically, the purpose of Compare Everywhere is to help you, the shopper, find the best deal around on a certain item.  For example purposes, let’s say you are interested in buying some new Nike shoes. You would begin buy pointing your camera at the barcode.  Once the picture is saved into your phone, you access the barcode picture within the App itself and you can compare the price from the store you are in to stores nearby.  Then, you can even call the store directly, or use the GPS in the G1 to find directions to that store.

I really like this App and think it would work well for those shoppers who are looking to find a good deal.  The app is supposed to run very quickly and return with local prices within only a few seconds.  Watch out for store employees, as they may not like you checking the prices of the shoes in nearby stores as you are taking away from their business!
