just wait until truly catches on and it becomes part of the average crowd. Has so much potential.
Oh I totally get the “difference,” but that Amazon plug-in had such an uproar on how unethical it was to use. I don’t see this being any different, yet I’m yet to hear a word on it being bad.
Wow, very cool to bad i still have old ghetto phone technology
yea, wish they had this for the iphone.

The difference is you’re in a brick & mortar store instead of browsing an online store and that’s pretty much it. Just like the firefox plugin is great for people who browse Amazon and want to preview stuff before they buy this app is great for people who are mall rats or like to window shop at electronic stores like BestBuy.
And how is this different from that firefox plugin that linked Amazon to Piratebay?
This is an awesome application that would have never been developed on another network. Already Android is showing its strength as a cell phone platform.
