Promotes further development in relevant technologies such as data collection and picture identificationThey're just keeping up with the marketBesides Amazon's Price Check app, there are RedLaser, Pic2Shop, Goodzer, and ShopSavvy.As a result, even if Amazon did not have this app, there would be plenty of other accessible versions.

The offer could cost the companies a lot of money if everyone downloads the app and plays along.When people talk about the demise of small retailers, who put time, care and expertise into their shops:---- this is the sort of thing that's killing them ----Amazon is deliberately aiming to rob regular retailers of the one thing Amazon can't provide:---- actual touch and feel shopping ----
Amazon SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED

People are already aware of online shopping.Way to destroy more jobs.I can't see how that is remotely fair for retailers.

Since Amazon is often a proxy retailer, it would benefit from selling others' goodsChanges the market space of the competitionWould encourage retail marketers to disguise their goods in an attempt to fool the applicationDisguises could also fool customers
Amazon SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED
