Red Laser for the iPhone is one neat application that will save you a lot of hassle and some money in the long run. The application is ideally suited for shoppers who don’t like haggling or prefer the price quoted to them by the shop. The truth is some shops and stores do not display prices and when you walk over to the clerk you are given a handsome bill.

With Red Laser the iPhone simply takes a snap of the bar code, interprets the item and goes online to leading e-Shops like Amazon, after running a search for the item and fetches you the price of the item instantly. This means one does not get the price of the item from the store or shop that he or she is standing in, rather he/she gets a second or even third opinion on the item’s price from other outlets.

This lets one make comparisons and prevents shoppers from fleecing customers. The items are then added to a list automatically which can then be e-mailed to for later reference or for making purchases online from one’s PC.  A good shopping aid I must say, try it out. The application has been designed by occipital and is available at the Apple Store for a just $1.99.
