Just updated and tried it out on my Broken Heart Robot toy, and it successfully identified it! That put a big smile on my face!

That is extremely cool. I've tried taking a photo, scanning barcodes, QR Codes and Chinese -> English translation. Very awesome.

Wow!! This is awesome

Dang, no iPod Touch 4G support.

Why no support for the touch?

Just found my answer. Goggles requires an auto-focusing camera to work.

This is another reason why touch 4 fails. Deliberately making it thinner so they wouldn't have to put the more expensive iPhone 4 cam in it now means a cool app is denied.

It'll be rolling out free of charge to App Stores worldwide today, but since it requires an auto-focusing camera, it's supported only on iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 running iOS 4 or above. The pain of progress, we guess.

I really wanted this app. I might end up getting a smartphone yet.

Doesn't do anything amazing that I can't already do with regular search but nice that it's there.
