Scan the Barcode in the Shop and Find the Best Prices
STARNBERG, Germany, December 10 - Today sees the launch of the world's first mobile price search engine
with integrated barcode scanner, the new iBARCODE iPhone application - an
innovative service that means you can save cash on the go. This technical
innovation from apnoti.com GmbH, based in Starnberg near Munich, enables
every iPhone user to scan product barcodes in a matter of seconds and find
the best prices. From now on, smart, price-conscious online buyers can use
iBARCODE to better evaluate shop prices and always make the right purchase
decision.
"The days when we had to go from shop to shop comparing
products to find the best price are now finally over! For example, if you
want to check the electronics market again to see if an offer really is good
value, the iPhone iBARCODE app is a simple way of doing this," says founder
and Managing Director Gerold Herrmann. "Behind the unique and complex
technology is a simple yet impressive idea. In order to scan a barcode, all
you have to do is hold the iPhone over the relevant code. The integrated
camera photographs it fully automatically and finds the best offers on the
Internet within a matter of seconds. These are located by the recently
launched real-time price search engine smart.apnoti.com, which now already
comprises more than 65 million product offerings from more than 10,000 online
shops worldwide," says Head of Marketing Wolfram Gast.
The mobile application recognises a broad range of barcodes
(UPC8, UPC12, EAN and ISBN), which can be found on the packaging of cameras,
audio and hi-fi devices, computers, furniture, books, DVDs and medicines for
example. Practical operating elements complete this handy offering, such as
individual marketplace and language settings, fast entry of product search
requests as text and storing and sending of watchlists.
The iPhone iBARCODE app is available for download at the
iTunes App Store under the Finance category and can be found by searching the
term 'iBARCODE'. Furthermore, you can find more information about the mobile
application directly on iTunes App Store:
