Sprint customers can now search and find products at local retailers, see price and availability information, and get directions to the store. Sprint and GPShopper today announced the launch of Slifter, the first mobile local product search application that employs GPS technology to find products at neighboring retail locations.

Slifter makes real-world shopping more interactive: customers simply enter a keyword, product name, model number or UPC code to find a product. They can then view product availability, price and promotional information. Sprint GPS capabilities ensure the closest possible retailers are identified in the search. From video games to vacuum cleaners, using Slifter, Sprint customers can now search for more than 85 million products available at more than 30,000 retail stores across the country.

Shoppers using Slifter can save items to a shopping list, and can also share their finds by sending product information to their friends' and families' mobile shopping lists.

Slifter is immediately available for download for $1.99 per month. Standard data charges also apply.
