Even useless, this is the first step towards the nirvana of mobile consumer comparison shopping:

1. Point camera phone at product in store.
2. Phone scans UPC or takes pic and OCR's make & model number.
3. Phone finds nearby stores with lower price on identical product.
4. You pick store, your phone gives you driving directions to that store.
-OR-
4. You still buy at the store you are in because the price difference isn't that great (or they provide added value).

There was a thread or news story about this just recently, but I can't seem to find it... :(
