two big announcements came out of the android world today:
1) Google Goggles: This takes web search to the next level with the ability to search with the use of images! in other words: snapping your picture = getting the information. There is a lot of techno-dazzle that goes into explaining how it works, but from what I read, it breaks down the image into signatures that google can recognize. VERY cool. Here is a link to “A Hands-On Tour: Google Goggles”. It looks as if this will be an amazing tool and a great mobile app.
2) Yelp comes to Android: This is pretty self explanatory, but Yelp (one of the largest restaurant, shop,…everything guide) has come to the Android phone. I wont go into the deets, but for more information click here.
I still haven’t found a convincing reason to switch from my Iphone to Android…especially when it has been announced that Google Goggles will soon be available on multiple platforms including the Iphone.
What do you think?
