From time to time we have a Just For Fun post. Now is the time for one. Except that this one is much more than just for fun, it is a glimpse into the future… and the future is now.

What is Google Goggles?
You do have to watch the video below, but in essence it is an Android application that takes photos, tries to recognize the subject of your photo and then presents you a search result about the subject. So far it can recognize landmarks, books, contact info, artwork, places and logos. More in the video.

This excerpt from the Google Goggles page:

A picture is worth a thousand words.
No need to type your search anymore. Just take a picture.

Find out what businesses are nearby.
Just point your phone at a store.

This is just the beginning – it’s not quite perfect yet.
Works well for some things, but not for all.

Your pictures, your control.
Turn on ‘visual search history’ to view or share your pictures at any time. Turn it off to discard them once the search is done.

Here is the video… enjoy!

A lot of truth in this half-funny video regarding the App Store and poor applications.  But of course funny videos could also be aimed at Windows Marketplace, BlackBerry App World, etc…

But for the sake of simply having fun take a look at the video below.

I found it over here.Similar Posts:

Just the other day a funny guy at work signed his email – sent from my Shoe Phone. Him and others may enjoy this Just For Fun post. You may have already seen it since the story broke yesterday… I am just running behind this week. :( … and it’s only Tuesday. But seeing that readers here are slightly different than readers from CrackBerry or BlackBerry Cool this may still be news to you.

Key features we’ve been told so far about the BlackBerry-connected smartwatch by our source:

  • it has been designed specifically for use with BlackBerry Smartphones from the ground up – developed by a new BlackBerry-dedicated accessory company
  • it features an OLED screen that we hear is “big, bright and beautiful” and optimized for displaying text clearly, and thanks to OLED has solid battery life
  • it’s designed to show you notifications and previews of messages arriving on your BlackBerry
  • judging by the filename of the photos as they were sent in to us, we’re thinking it’s going to be branded the inPulse smartwatch

    • Pictures from CrackBerry …
