All-in-one: Google Goggles

Mumbai: The all new “Google Goggles” features its Android operating platform for mobile devices. Google Goggles lets Android-powered phones with cameras snap a picture, which it then interprets.

In the “gee-whiz” category, for instance, snap a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge and get location, Wikipedia and other information.

In the “on-the-go” category, Google has improved its mobile application in voice, location, and the above-mentioned Goggles feature.

On the voice front, it now takes in-depth vocal queries and Google says it returns more accurate results than past efforts.

In terms of Location, Google Mobile’s new homepage will now include search guidance based on location. For instance, if you enter a search query for a product and your location, Google will return mobile search results that include the inventory available of the product at stores close to your location.

In the “I want it now” category, Google has officially integrated real-time search with its indexed information. In addition to tweets from Twitter, Google will also look at blogs, Facebook updates and MySpace feeds, among other real-time data sources.

Google Trends could be the ultimate tool for keeping your fingers on the pulse of the global zeitgeist.
