Google Goggles Coming To Android Phone

Google Goggles Coming To Android Phone
From CNBC's "Inside the Mind of Google" The greatest Search Engine revealed their plan that Google is working on Google Visual Search the application for mobile device that lets users take a picture of location from their Android-powered smartphone and trigger a Google search that pulls up information associated with the image.Pairing digital ads, possibly from Google’s AdMob acquisition, is a natural way to make money from visual mobile searches. Many people take pictures from their increasingly improving smartphone cameras daily, but imagine if those users could leverage the images as search tools instead of simply fun picture to look at."Imagine you're a tourist and you arrive at this place and you would like to know more about it, all you will have to do is take a shot of the [Santa Monica pier] sign and you see we recognized this as the Santa Monica pier," Hartmut Neven,Google Product Manager said.
Google calls this technology "Google Goggles" this technology allows users to take an image from their camera phone and uses visual recognition engines to recognize objects shown in the image, and return search results based upon that recognition.
"Imagine you are on travel in Paris and you visit a museum. If a picture catches your attention you can simply take a photo and send it to the VMS service. Within seconds you will receive an audio-visual narrative explaining the image to you. If you happen to be connected to a 3G network the response time would be below a second. After the museum visit you might step outside and see a coffeehouse."

T-mobile USA : Add Channel And Carrier Billing to Android Market

Venetia Espinoza, Director of Mobile Applications and Partner Programs told mocoNews: “We are making it very easy to purchase apps. Historically, research has shown that with carrier billing, there’s a big uptick of 30 to 40 percent in app or content downloads….We’ve been working very closely with Google over the last several months to integrate the Android Market with our internal billing gateway.” Espinoza said the revenue split will remain the same as before with developers receiving 70 percent.
T-Mobile said it will have four Android devices in time for the holidays, the Motorola CLIQ (now available), the Samsung Behold II (coming soon), the T-Mobile G1 and the T-Mobile myTouch. In addition to more devices, the number of applications have also increased from 50 at the time of launch to 12,000 (of course that pales in comparison to Apple’s announcement today of 100,000 apps).Here is T-mobile my Touch 3G consumer stats :
- About 50% of my Touch 3G users visit the Android Market at least once per day.
