Google Announces Google Shopper Application

Today Google announced the addition of Google Shopper to their Android application line-up.

Part barcode scanner, part Shop Savvy, and part Amazon app. Google Shopper allows you to scan either a products barcode or covers of books, cds, and video games.  Shopper uses the auto-focus camera of your Android device to capture a product image or barcode.  Using that information Google Shopper will return with prices, ratings, retailers, and access to expert and user reviews.

Here’s how Google describes the workings of Google Shopper:

Shopper lets you find product information quickly by using your phone’s camera. It can recognize cover art of books, CDs, DVDs, and video games, along with most barcodes. You can also speak the name of the product you’re looking for. Use Shopper to make smart decisions about what to buy, what price to pay, and where to buy it. You can star items for later and share them with friends. Shopper also saves your history so you’ll always have product and price information at your fingertips, even when you don’t have a signal.

Quick review with images and video after the break.
