hey guys jon rettinger here a few weeks ago I showed you a barcoding application for Android called shopsavvy at the time there wasn't anything out for the iphone and that has been rectified there is an application out now it's 199 it's called red laser you can see the icon right there and my first question when I first think about these barcoding scanning applications is how useful is going to be is it really going to help me in any way and where I thought about it actually the more uses I found for this application let's say you're out shopping at bestbuy or any other electronic store you want to know if what you're about to purchase is a good deal well you can scan the barcode this single search amazon for you in a pull up a list of prizes you can see if you're getting a good deal on whatever it is you're buying so it gives you a little bit of a peace of mind so I picked some pretty popular products and I'm going to give them a scan for the first time see how accurate this is and how well it works let's go ahead and get started the first thing we're going to scan is a case for the iphone by a new form there's a bar code on the bottom go ahead and open up red laser and you get a very simple interface I'll show you a list of your scam products mine is clear right now you go and hit the lightning bolt right there opens up your camera application and you have to align the barcode between those two arrows so let me go ahead and do that it gets a beep tells you that it's searching amazon i found the product and it's listing them for a ton of prizes here anywhere from 15 I guy and 1399 any $20 so you can see if you're getting a good deal if you want to see more so the like the 1399 was the cheapest you can go ahead and hit the arrow and they'll open up the link to the site of where that product is sold actually is pretty useful so i'll go back gives you some information about the product that you scanned lets you know that it's a case and who makes it let's try a few other products and see if this thing is still accurate one of the problems I found with shopsavvy was a lot of the things i scanned didn't always register as products it just didn't know what they existed let's see if this can be fixed so now we're going to scan a pair of Sonic's three headphones these have a built-in microphone actually a pretty nice pair of headset go ahead and give that a skin again put it right in the middle gives it a scan searching amazon and found it and these prices are ranging from website it's pretty constant just about seventy dollars so if you were buying these from online or in the store you know you were paying 6999 that you were getting a fair price let's scan a few other things and see how it works so right now I've got something that is certainly available on Amazon here is ilife 09 there's the barcode in my life 09 let's see if this scans I know a lot of times these applications have trouble with software scoop us a whirl use your beep and it found it so overall I think this is a very useful application for for two dollars it can very easily save you many times over that if you're just out shopping even for one product so wherever you might be this is good for things that aren't electronic space if your your grocery shopping you want to prepare cans of soup or anything with the barcode that they sell on amazon this is going to be a fantastic tool for you if you're out clothing shopping and you want to scan things this is going to be a great tool limitation is you're stuck with served just what amazon has but they have a very very broad catalog so i think you guys will find it useful so what do you think is something that you're going to use not use is it a wasted two bucks let me know what you think good comments or video response and I will see you guys in the next video fort rusev content check me out at twitter twitter.com / John for lakers and to learn more about technobuffalo checkouts technobuffalo com bye bye
