I think what you're looking for exists, here: http://www.slifter.com/ Rob Kelley wrote: >From [http://sidewayzen.com ]: Froogle ([Froogle.com ]) is Google's product search.

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.
