Search by taking a picture. Goggles attempts to recognize objects, text, landmarks, books, contact info, artwork, wine, logos and return relevant search results. Recognizes words in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish and allows you to translate to other languages. One of the best apps to have for Android. Version 1.6 or later of Android needed to download.

Google Goggles released for Apple's iPhone

Today, Google announced that its Goggles image search feature is immediately available in the App Store for Apple's iPhone smartphone. The new feature,
which will be bundled into the Google Mobile App, will support iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 devices running iOS 4 or higher.

"Computer vision is a hard problem and Google Goggles is still a Labs product. It works well for things such as landmarks, logos and the covers of books, DVDs and
games. However, it doesn't yet work for some things you might want to try like animals, plants or food," explains Google.

Slap on those Goggles and get
Googling.
