QuadsZilla There’s an article over at the new york times:
This vision, once the stuff of science fiction, took a significant step forward this month when Google unveiled a smartphone application called Goggles. It allows users to search the Web, not by typing or by speaking keywords, but by snapping an image with a cellphone and feeding it into Google’s search engine.
Here’s the video about Goggles:
Obviously it’s still in it’s infancy, but it has incredible potential applications. There is a similar yet simpler thing called snappic on iphone that I haven’t tried either. If you’ve given either a try, I’d love to hear your take.

I’ve got Goggles on my ‘droid. It works pretty well with logos and big landmarks, but not on famous faces (not tried artwork yet) and the OCR it uses for business cards is a bit sketchy at times. Still, stood on the south bank in London and took a photo of the London Eye, and it pulled up ticket prices, etc straight away.
