Frucall puts the power of internet price comparison in your pocket. The service is simple: just dial 1-888-DO-FRUCALL and type or read (in the future) the product’s barcode into your phone. I gave it a shot today and was impressed with the results. I grabbed a random CD off my shelf, entered the numbers from the barcode, and after a few seconds, Frucall knew what CD it was, the highest and lowest prices it cound find on the internet for it (both new and used), and offered me a bunch more options, including getting customer ratings for the CD, leaving myself a voice note (tied to my Frucall account for easy reference), buying it from an online store right then and there, and more. It seems like a prety useful service to have in my pocket, and I’m definitely adding it to the contact list in my phone.

Well, it seems Chris and I are split on this one: My exact words when I saw this were “Whyyyyyy, dear God?”. Chris is hopeful that it will be a good movie. We shall see. :)

edit: I just found out that the Nike+ iPod Sport Kit is now out. Just thought someone might like to know!
