Mallicious application looks pretty sophisticated. If only this also meant wide adoption. Sometimes simplicity works wonders. Think about how Google was able to beat Yahoo I agree, Scott.

Dealplus might have 100 active users, but their Facebook app is no where near the sophistication of Mallicious'.

Can you see point-n-shoot cameras? Is there a "Compare (N) prices" link below some of the camera images? As far as I understand, you will see that link whenever the application engine detects that the product is offered by more than one merchant, which is exactly how price comparison sites work.

Can you please clarify what you mean? Thanks, Daniel D. Hi Yan,

The price drops are actually based on the previous prices, not the retail prices given by the merchants. So if a product was $10 yesterday and now it's $5 today, that's a 50% price drop. I agree that the retail prices given by merchants are useless and we certainly don't use that information. Thank you for the review Yan!
