Scanbuy And Nextcode Use Camera Phone To Compare Prices


E-Commerce gives a summary of all types of price comparison engines.

Comparison shopping engine vendors have developed new services to support wireless devices, such as cell phones.

Mobile searching also offers users new functions: they can have their camera phones scan bar codes with their phones for instant price checks.

Scanbuy and NextCode have developed such features and comparison shopping engineers are reportedly ready to incorporate them into their services.
