I thought that maybe, Google&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/froogle.google.com\/\">Froogle<\/a> tool might assist, but have been pretty disappointed to find that the cheapest available from a reputable dealer seems to be USD$349.99 (from Popular Electronics, in Chicago).<\/p>\n<p>Is Froogle the best to search for bargains in the USA? Can I find a cheaper N800 in San Francisco?<\/p>\n<p>That aside, Froogle is a rather cool tool. Its got some amazing sorting facilities (sorting by relevance or price, which is important for bargain hunters), and if you enter a city, state or zip code (post code), it also provides a map (directly out of Google Maps) of stores in the area. Rather nifty, I must say. And of course there are also sponsored links (AdWords) on the page. All in all, if you&#8217;ve not visited it, do pay it a visit. Not so useful in Australia, where something like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shopbot.com.au\/\">ShopBot<\/a> might be handier, but clearly something for the folk at Google to think about bringing to the Aussie market.<\/p>\n<p>Technorati Tags: <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/handhelds\" rel=\"tag\">handhelds<\/a>, <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/n800\" rel=\"tag\">n800<\/a>, <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/cheap\" rel=\"tag\">cheap<\/a>, <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/san%20francisco\" rel=\"tag\">san francisco<\/a>, <a class=\"performancingtags\" href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tag\/froogle\" rel=\"tag\">froogle<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seeing that I&#8217;ll be in United States next week (or rather this weekend), I figured it&#8217;d be nice to find an N800.
