Google Goggles for iPhone available for download

Google has announced that Goggles is now a feature of Google Mobile App for iPhone. Google Mobile App with Google Goggles is now available in the Apple App Store. Google Mobile App already lets you speak your queries, and it can also use your phone’s location to give you more relevant search results.

According to Google,

In the new version of Google Mobile App just tap on the camera button to search using Goggles. Goggles will analyze the image and highlight the objects it recognizes -- just click on them to find out more.

Computer vision is a hard problem and Google Goggles is still a Labs product. It works well for things such as landmarks, logos and the covers of books, DVDs and games. However, it doesn’t yet work for some things you might want to try like animals, plants or food.

Note: Goggles is enabled only for English-speaking users, and since it requires an auto-focusing camera it is supported only on iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 running iOS 4 or above.
