\"scan-barcode[1]\"<\/a>Great Barcode Scanning applications are already on the Android Market – nod to ShopSavvy – but Google has just added that function to their own stable of services within Google Product Search. A post published on the Official Google Mobile Blog highlights the addition.<\/p>\n

Google Shopping suffers from the same issues as apps like ShopSavvy – it usually only works with certain types of products and Google acknowledges this:<\/p>\n

Today, barcode scanning works best for products like electronics, books, movies or video games, but we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re working on adding more barcodes for other items. Of course, if your scan does not return a result, you can always type in the product name just as before.<\/p>\n

This is pretty awesome if you ask me and an obvious next step for Google. Although I feel kind of bad for ShopSavvy who seem to be getting cornered out of the market, everything is free game and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sure that ShopSavvy will have its fair share of users stick around.<\/p>\n

It is interesting to note that Jeffrey Sharkey, an Android Developer Challenge 1 Winner, was the developer behind a barcode scanning\/shopping application called Compare Everywhere and he is now a Google employee working on the Google Android Team. However, he didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know about this new feature until I told him! Jeffrey informed me that he has been extremely busy with other fun stuff like widgets, for example.<\/p>\n

Be warned, this is only available in the US and UK on Android Phones.<\/p>\n
