So truth be told I don’t actually HAVE an iPhone, nor any plans to buy one, but I’m fascinated by all of the really great apps out there and thought I’d do a post on some of the ones I just might use:

RedLaser – Swipe your iPhone over the barcode of an item and RedLaser’s built-in scanner will search Amazon and Google Product Search for the top online prices for that item. (£1.19)

Ocado on the Go – The first UK online shopping app from Ocado lets you browse through thousands of household groceries, then place your order for delivery in a handy one-hour time slot. (free)
