Redlaser
This app isn't new, but it's one that every shopper should have in their back pocket. Redlaser transforms your iPhone's camera into a barcode scanner. Simply scan the items and the app provides detailed product descriptions and reviews, but more importantly it tells you where you can find the best price, either online or at a brick-and-mortar store nearby. It also notifies you of any available coupons.
