Google Goggles: search using pictures!

On Monday, Google launched Google Goggles, a new mobile application.
Google Goggles is the newest member of the Google Mobile App family and enables you to search using pictures. All you have to do is take a picture with your mobile phone, stream it to Google and you get a list of search results related to that picture.

Google Goggles has a lot of uses:

• Take a picture of a book, DVD or CD and learn everything about the author or artists
• Point your mobile at a store, landmark or any other location and find out interesting information about it
• Take a snapshot of artwork or a bottle of wine and impress your friends with all the information that Google delivers directly to your mobile phone

Technically spoken, Google Goggle even enables you to search using face recognition, however, this is currently not enabled. Google is still experimenting with this feature and they first have to straighten out some legal concerns about privacy before they can offer this feature.

Currently, Google Goggles is only available for Android 1.6+ enabled phones, but Google plans to release Google Goggles for all popular mobile platforms like the iPhone and Blackberry.
