Google Shopping to offer more details in search results

Google Shopping has already been a way to quickly learn some details of a product when searching the web. This time around, it will offer you even more details to help you make that split-second decision. For one, it will tell you where the product is available and which stores still have it in stock, which is a handy piece of information to have to save time. And since product descriptions usually have one-sided and biased perspectives, Google Shopping will also offer to take you to customer reviews to help make up your mind, provided such review exist, of course. Presuming they're also objective.

For some items, especially gadgets, Shopping will now also let you take a 360-degree tour of the item in question. You can freely rotate a product around to view it from all angles if the provided photos aren't enough to do it justice.
