I just awoke to find a few great articles on ShopSavvy this morning.  The first article was from ABC News that described ShopSavvy as a “Lifestyle App That Makes Life Easier“.  Ki Heussner from ABC’s Gadget Guide described ShopSavvy as “An oldie-but-goodie,” suggesting, “ShopSavvy is a necessary application for every budget-conscious shopper.” Thanks for the mention Ki!

The next article was by Geoffrey Fowler and Yukari Kane from the Wall Street Journal titled, “Price Check: Finding Deals with a Phone“.  The article begins by describing how Erik Olson used ShopSavvy to scan the price of a Blu-ray DVD at Best Buy only to find it cheaper at Walmart.  Later in the article Ivory Johnson of Georgia explained, “ShopSavvy has changed my method of shopping.”  Ivory’s sister explained that his sister used ShopSavvy to get a $50 refund from a retailer after scanning the barcode on the Flip UltraHD camera she had previously bought.

Next, I read an article by Kent McNeil suggesting that ShopSavvy would help Ebay drive more than $500M in mobile-based revenue this year alone.  I can’t wait to see what we can do in 2010.  Kent specifically noted that ShopSavvy is one of two companies that are using PayPal’s open technology for payments (the other is Twitpay.me).  Kent’s piece was a followup on a USA Today article titled, “CEO tries to breath new life into eBay and PayPal.“  The article mentioned that ShopSavvy was part of eBay’s new strategy.

Finally lots of little mentions of the new release, specifically the iPhone Bible, MacMegasite, prMac,  reported that we had launched ShopSavvy v.1.1 for iPhone and Touch.
