Is Google running short of imagination. Not when it comes to applications - there seems to be a new product announcement almost everyday. But Google Goggles - who thought that up? Its a terrible name. But in terms of developing a work based mobile learning platform it may represent a big step forward.

Goggles is a very simple application. You merely point your Android phone at an object - a building, an object, an artefact - and it produces search results based on the image (Google say they will be porting it to other platforms in the future).
