Gaga for Google Goggles!

If you have an android-powered phone running version 1.6 or higher, then you are probably familiar with Google Goggles. Goggles takes web search to a whole new level. It uses your phone's built-in camera to take pictures of what you want to search for and gives you results. This technology is still new and this app is in beta, but it works terrifically on logos, landmarks, barcodes, text, artwork and books. One feature is still reigns as my favorite. The ability to scan business cards. If you scan the card, it will give you all the contact info, the ability to call that person, and add them to your contacts. Since this is still a new idea, there are some bugs, but all in all this app is cool and has great potential.
