| Um...the point is?
If you have a smart phone, why wouldn't you just Google "The Eiffel Tower" on your mobile browser? Why go through all the trouble of taking a picture of something, uploading it to somewhere, and hoping it comes back with relevant information?
I'm thinking this is a bust... |

Laguna Hills, CA | People know the Eiffel Tower but it would be nice to point it at a hotel and see if they have vacancies or at a restaurant during the day to make reservations for that evening. |

if there was an app on your phone you clicked one button, the app brings up the camera dialogs you click capture (or whatever your phone says to take a picture), and it sends it directly up and you get the relevant info in two clicks i thin kits worth it. Because then you could do it worth product s and many other things. Scarily in the future you may take a picture of someone and get their name in response.

That would be nice, but I'm thinking not likely! |

I'm in with 2 clicks. More than that just seems like too much trouble, I agree. It would be great to walk into a Best Buy, and in two clicks, have the best price on the item in front of you. |

...Takes way to long to type in accurately when yer peeing yer pants photographing the Eiffel Tower! lol.
Heck, although this is a LAME comparison, (and I mean L A M E!!), Virgin Moble has a dial-up system where you let yer phone hear a song you want the info for, and within a minute or so, it SMS's you back with the info based on song recogniton... Of course, it costs like a buck to do it, and I can "google" it mucho faster, but i guess when at a party, you might be more popular....
Then again, that's the exact audience Virgin is charging for....
For me, It's just a free PAYG, $0.10/min anywhere fone... And yeah, VM nickle and dimes you to death if you let them... And their data service kinda blows, but in the end I find it cheaper to pay $5 a month for what, 50MB of data, whichever comes first... Works fine for serious stuff like bad weather, radar, and other common mundane services other than d/l all the new ringtones at $2.00 each.... I'll hack my own when I need more... heh.

And just think if you accidently have the service on taking pics of yer mother's, or grandmother's house, and up pops a list of all the sex offenders who ever lived within the block or worse, in their house...
Me thinks the idea is kewl, but actual mileage will fall far less than advertised...
