BarPoint.com (Nasdaq:BPNT), the company that is revolutionizing the way shopping decisions are made through the use of unique product identifiers such as Universal Product Codes (UPC), today announced the availability of its BarPoint Shopper(TM) service through GoAmerica, Inc.'s (Nasdaq:GOAM), Go.Web(TM) service. GoAmerica's subscribers now have convenient access to BarPoint.com's unique, patent-pending reverse search technology from mobile devices in order to obtain product-specific information, competitive pricing and manufacturer information, assisting them in making more informed purchasing decisions.
BarPoint's mobile product information and shopping service is revolutionizing mobile and Internet use of unique product identifiers such as Universal Product Codes (UPC) for businesses and consumers. Available on such devices as PDAs, 2-way pagers and notebook computers, the Go.Web(TM) service gives quick and easy access to the wealth of product information BarPoint offers to consumers.
"The ease of using numeric UPC codes to conduct searches and the anytime, anywhere access the consumers have with wireless devices give BarPoint a clear advantage over other search services," stated John Macatee, president and CEO of BarPoint.com. "Customizing specific product information for the variety of wireless devices available also insures that BarPoint users get exactly the information they want in an easy-to-use format."
To utilize the BarPoint service, GoAmerica customers and business shoppers select "Shop at Barpoint" from the "Go.Web Living" menu to conduct on-line product research, or price comparisons. BarPoint is optimized for use with the limited bandwidth, screen size and battery life of mobile devices, which means obtaining product specific information is as easy as entering a product's unique identifier, such as the barcode number, instead of keywords, and the results returned are product-specific.
GoAmerica's Go.Web(TM) service enables the mobile professionals to securely access and process corporate data, send and receive email and browse the Internet when away from the office. The Go.Web(TM) technology intelligently compresses, encrypts and reformats data, optimizing it for viewing on a variety of wireless devices and data networks.
