New Google Maps and Google Goggles

[Tennessee]

Was just on another forum and saw where there is a new release of google maps as well as a new app called google goggles. Both are are pretty good. Google Goggles lets you take pictures to search the web and scan in business card contacts. Make sure to watch the video.

It's very funny about Google Goggles coming out just yesterday.

I was watching a special about Google on CNBC on Sunday and they talked about Google Goggles and said it was in beta test stage and wouldn't be out till the beginning of 2010. I'm guessing the special was taped months ago when Google was working on Goggles.

Needless to say I downloaded it and it works awesome!

Not at the moment. It's only for Android 1.6+.

Google Goggles is amazing! I showed it to my boss yesterday, who has an iPhone, and he was blown away!

Just downloaded google goggles. Pretty amazing app. I've tried it with a Mountain Dew bottle and it works fine. Looking to try it when passing by a Wal Mart, Best Buy, etc and even a non chain to see what happens.

I think it only works on 1.6+ (or maybe 2.0+). Either way, the HTC's aren't upgraded to that point yet. Hopefully soon!
