Now you can take an expert with you on every shopping trip: your cell phone.
Scanbuy Shopper software, a free download from www.scan buy.com, gathers price comparisons, reviews and product information from the Web.
Whether you're pricing a jug of detergent or an LCD television, Scanbuy Shopper consults PriceGrabber.com, Shopping .com and Amazon.com, among others, before displaying info on your phone's screen.
All you do is use the phone's touchpad to enter the product's eight-digit bar code found on the desired item's box.
It works only with Java-enabled services from providers T-Mobile, Cingular and Sprint. (Depending on the plan, each call will cost about 25 cents. Consult Scanbuy's Web site for a list of compatible phones.)
Other free software — like NextCode's Connexto (www .connexto.com) and NeoMedia's PaperClick (www.paperclick .com) — also offers comparison prices. GPShopper (www .gp shopper.com) and its Slifter (www.slifter.com) technology even maintains a shopping list on a cellphone, updating with local and online prices.
