Startup Idea:Barphone (A Cellphone with a Barcode Scanner that uploads online discount

1 points by Aries ↗ HN
Basically I want to create a cell phone that can scan Barcodes and automatically uploads you to Ebay or Tigerelectronics or Amazon For Example So if your at BEST BUY and you see USB for $35 at Best Buy and you scan the barcodes using your Barphone you are taken to one of the mentioned sites and are able to save $20 as well read comments from other consumers in realtime. Would this be something the World would want? I would need four timezone HQ in the U.S for midnight resynchronization, but would this be a disrupter for BEST BUY, WALMART, MACYS, ETC EMAIL ME PLEASE Aries Alvarez alvin1inc@gmail.com

Another item in the BOM is the last thing mobile manufacturers need. Why not use the camera instead? With some image recognition magic, you can come up with a working prototype.
