I have been seeing a lot of apps being develop in the past few months specially in mobile that uses, collaboration in its true sense of word. True Web 2.0. I have seen it everywhere Yelp intg with maps, maps with phone and so on and so forth. But what my idea is, say you are in a shop and you want to buy a stuff a computer for instance. Now the price is somewhere around 1000$. Thats a lot of money and you dont want to just waste that amount of money, without confirming that this is a best deal. So you will search for it in a deal finder. But in collaborative world we believe in seamless intg of various technology. So here is what i was thinking..
You grab your phone, open the app called iShop and use the camera function to take a snap of the label/name of the app in the panel and then wallah it searches the net and gets you the cheapest price available using shopping.google.com or simillar web service. Isnt this a great idea and i couldnt find any apps in itunes that does this. But i have too much on my plate to work on it right now. Thats one more thing to add to my to do list. Lets see where it goes....
1) I need to do edge detection
2) OCR
3)Google or someother deal finders/shopping web service.
4)Create a android app/iphone app out of it.

Ok I am not advocating for my company here and this really depends on how much you understand/believe Amazon as a marketplace and not one dealer.
CHeck out the iPhone Amazon App: http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1000291661
Look at the Amazon Remembers feature - I use it regularly for the use-case you provided. I see something, take a snap and wait for Amazon to get the item.
Amazon will pick up the best merchant considering various parameters.
Arnab just checked your link, yes this is what i was looking for exactlly what i had in mind except for the fact that it uses amazon and amazon market palce and not shopping.google.com, hence misses out vendor like ebay etc. But i think this is good enough, i will download it and give it a try
well eBay's deal is what it's sellers best deal is. And with more and more sellers getting attracted to Amazon (from eBay) you theoretically and potentially should get the same deals.
