by scanning an item’s bar code, snapping its picture, or typing or saying its
name.
“This app makes it incredibly easy to quickly compare prices on
millions of items before making a purchase,” said Sam Hall, director of Amazon
Mobile. “We’ve worked hard to have low prices at Amazon, and we like it when
customers comparison shop so they know they’re getting a good deal.”
