Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) has a major interest in competing directly with Groupon. After Groupon refused Google’s $6 billion offer, Google realized that they cannot just buy their way into the local deals market. Google now has a new feature in the Google Shopper app [iTunes link] where mobile users can find local deals.

Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) launched Google Shopper for Android last November. It was downloaded by millions of people. Now Google Shopper is available on the iPhone. You can read product reviews, compare prices, and save/share products for later consideration using the Google Shopper app. [Google Mobile Blog]
