Did you know your iPhone can make sure you aren't getting screwed on the price when you are purchasing something?

While not a new iPhone application, RedLaser warrants a positive review on my little blog.  I downloaded the application while I was out with my kids getting ideas for Christmas.  I didn't have a pen or paper and I wanted to write down some of the stuff my son and daughter were pointing out.  I remembered a friend of mine had mentioned a barcode scanner for the iPhone that searched Amazon and Google Product Search for the best prices.  After installing the app I started taking pictures of the barcode with the application.  It compiled a list of the items with a small images and prices form several online and big box retailers.  In addition it allowed me to send a the list with links to the items through email.  It was near perfect for the situation.

This is the first blog post.  Not much to say now.  Just hard at work setting up this website.  I hope to have many of my necklaces, earrings, and bracelets up in the cart soon.  Silver jewelry, bronze sculpture and other fine artwork pieces will be up prior to Christmas.  Check back soon for updates.
