Pricing service

Shoppers spend a lot of time traveling between different stores, picking and choosing and comparing prices before making a major purchase.

A service that can help them is a pricing service that can be called by a SMS from a cell-phone or maybe a positioned station right inside the store. It may accept the UPC (Universal Product Code) of the unit the customer is interested in, and provide price information at several locations. A service like Froogle can be used to draw such prices from the internet.

The point about this is it would actually be really useful to the customer, and at a low fee (cost of the SMS). I know I would use something like this the next time I'm out checking out new TVs!
