iphone pric comaprison app

I am just about to head out shopping for a new laptop for the other half. Want to make sure I am not being ripped of on prices when out - so does anyone know a good app for the iphone that will let me quickly check online prices by scanning the bar code etc?

Any retailer selling a laptop will, unless you know what you are looking for, over price it and bombard you with accessories. Bit late now but you would be better shopping online.

I know Amazon and eBay offer such applications for iPhone, just search for one.

Normally I would buy online but her laptop packed up this morning and she needs a new one for her work on Monday. Downloaded an app called red laser that apparently does what I need. Given we need to buy now just want to use online prices for negotiating on the price in store

Yeah, well hope you find a good buy. Make sure they chuck in a free case!
