Google is launching its popular shopping app, Google Shopper, for iPhone, complete with voice, image and local search.
Originally released for Android last year, Google Shopper can find products based on text, voice or barcode recognition to get the price comparison of a specific product online. If you do a search for “HP printer,” you’ll be a list of different printer types, as well as a list of nearby locations where you can purchase the item. Google also displays a rating for the item, based on user reviews.
When you select a specific item, Google gives you more details about the product. You can then choose to either check for the item on a variety of online retailers, or you can look up a list of local retailers that carry the product. If you choose Local search, Google will display whether the item is available or not in each store. You can also “star” a specific item to save for later or you can share it with your friends via Facebook, Twitter and/or Google Reader.
Just like its Android counterpart, Shopper for iPhone is fast, simple and effective. For someone who wants to just get the price comparison, no matter where they are, the app will prove to be a reliable companion. That can’t be good for the likes of ShopSavvy and other shopping and barcode-reading applications.
The app is available in the app store now for iPhones running iOS 4.0 and higher.

The Tudors star Henry Cavill's career is about to soar to new heights: The Brit actor has officially landed the coveted role as the Man of Steel in the upcoming Superman movie reboot.
“In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time, and I am honored to be a part of his return to the big screen,” the movie's director, Zack Snyder, says of Cavill. “I also join Warner Bros., Legendary and the producers in saying how excited we are about the casting of Henry. He is the perfect choice to don the cape and S shield.”
According to the Hollywood Reporter, 27-year-old Cavill beat out fellow Brit Matthew Goode, "White Collar" star Matthew Bomer, "True Blood" actor Joe Manganiello and "The Social Network's" Armie Hammer for the part of Clark Kent's alter ego.
But this isn't the first time Cavill has attempted to play superhero. He previously tried out for 2006's "Superman Returns" but lost the role to Brandon Routh and was beat out by Christian Bale for 2005's "Batman Begins."
The new Superman movie is expected to fly into theaters in December 2012.
