Froogle ([Froogle.com ]) is Google's product search. Give it a search
term, and it'll return a list of stores and prices. 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 store itself.

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!
