Last December Vic Gundotra, VP of Engineering for Google demonstrated a preview of Product Search for mobile devices with up-to-date local inventory which informs you about available stock based on your search results at local retailers. Well the wait is over shoppers, the ability to view stock live from your Google based web browser is now here. Retailers currently participating include Best Buy, Sears, Williams-Sonoma, Pottery barn, and West Elm. If you see a blue dot(s) in your search results it is alerting you that the item is either in stock or has limited availability nearby. From this point it will provide you with the retailers location and number and you can proceed from there without spending valuable time checking endless stores via calling/driving around searching. If you have active GPS it will even show you how far you are from your shopping destination. This new feature is available on any iPhone, Palm webOS, or Android-powered device in the US. To access this feature you just need to go to Google.com, tap "more", then tap "Shopping" and voila! If you're a retailer that would like to participate in this program, just fill out [this form] and let them know you would like to be considered. [GoogleMobile]
