During recent Google event that took place in Mountain view, there’s something extraordinary that has landed in favor of Android. An app that could easily be one of the most desirable geek fantasies is now a reality for Android phone users running Android 1.6 and above, i.e. Donut or Eclair (poor iPhone fans).

Branded as Google Goggles, this latest Android app from Google empowers you to take a snap of various things such as landmarks, books, artwork, places, wine, company logos etc and use that snap as a search input to explore associated stuff about it on the web.

For instance, if you come across a novel in a library, you can instantly take a snap of coverpage of that novel through your Android phone and search about that novel through Google Goggles Android app. Similarly, you can snap and search about dvds, landmarks, places etc.

As Google admits by itself, Visual search through Goggles android app is in nascent stage and shouldn’t be assumed perfect at all. You can’t just start snapping pictures here and there from your android phone and expect magical stuff from Google. It’s only a start of an unexplored search landscape and further development is pretty much in progress from Google’s end. You can notice that Google Goggles is still a part of Google labs.

For now, android phone owners (present and future) have a huge thing to boast about. They’ve got the power to search visually. Love you Google !

Well, just for information sake, it has got nothing to do with Gmail Goggles !
