Hello Rob,
Good points. If Froogle doesn't do it, pricegrabber.com or
another major site will. The race is on....

> Froogle ([Froogle.com ]) is Google's product search. Give it

> Cool, but it's not part of the [http://google.com/palm
> |mobile Google] you can use from your PDA or smartphone.
> Google needs to make it easy to do product comparison in the

>
> Here's the first use case at Barnes and Noble:
> 1. I see a big fat computer book. It's expensive.
> 2. I whip out my phone and go to froogle.com. It shows me a
> simple search box and a radio button for my saved
> filters--I've created a custom search to just do BN.com,
> Amazon.com, and Half.com.
> 3. I enter the ISBN of the book.
> 4. Froogle gives me a simple screen showing me the prices at each.
> 5. Based on the info, I suck it up and buy the book there.
>
> Let's get cooler...

> Second use case:
> There's an out-of-print children's book called "JellyBeans
> for Breakfast". I want to know where I can find this book for
> my daughter.
> I whip out the phone:
>
> 1. I go to froogle.com
> 2. I type in Jellybeans for Breakfast, then I select "based
> on location" and enter 10011 3. Froogle shows a list of
> stores near me that have this out-of-print book.
> 4. I click the phone number of the store and the phone calls
> to confirm.
>
> As far as I know, neither of these features exist now, but
> not even the basic Froogle interface exists for mobile users.
> Please Google, help us here!
