See What Your Phone Can Do Now

See something in a store and want to find out more about it and where to get it cheaply?

If you have an iPhone or Android, the latest version of Google Goggles makes this a point-and-see operation.

As an app loaded onto your iPhone or Android, it decodes barcodes or even recognizes the actual product you're pointing your phone's camera at. Once recognized, the app connects your phone not only to the website of the manufacturer, but it also generates search results for where you can buy it and how much it'll cost.

As transparent and easy as show and tell--this is really new media in action.
