Abstract
A method, system, computer program product, and device for providing product information, such as, for example, product price comparison information, product reviews, retailer information, retailer reviews, and information about similar products, to a user utilizing a mobile data processing system is provided. In one embodiment, a user, using a product code reader, such as, for example, an RFID reader, reads a product code from a tag, such as, for example, an RFID tag, located proximate to a product. The product code information determined from the product code is transmitted to a server. The server receives the product code information and retrieves the product information from a database. The server then formats the product information into, for example, a web page, and transmits the web page back to the mobile data processing system which receives the web page and presents the web page to the user.
