Google has announced an all new shopping app for Android and is calling it Google Shopper. As the name suggests, the app is your shopping guide or assistant if you like. The thing which I like the most about is that it uses your mobile phone’s camera to reveal pricing details for the desired product. It is available for download from the Android Marketplace. You can also consider it as an extension/enhancement of Google Goggles. It brings with it a cool set of features which you can read after the jump.
