Google has announced the release of a new version of one of their most innovative mobile apps, Goggles. The new Google Goggles 1.3<\/strong><\/a> is now smarter than ever: it can not only read barcodes faster, but also recognize print ads on popular U.S. magazines and newspapers, and even help you solve sudoku puzzles.<\/p>\n

The barcode scanning technology<\/strong> in Goggles has improved a lot in this new version. Hold your phone over any barcode on any product, and in just a second the device will vibrate and display search results related to that product, without requiring any other extra interaction. The print ad recognition<\/strong> feature is also quite amazing. It’s meant to work with ads on all major U.S. newspapers and magazines from August 2010 onwards, and enables you to perform a search about a certain product by simply capturing its image on the ad with Goggles.<\/p>\n

But the one feature that has caught my attention is Goggles’s new ability to solve sudoku puzzles<\/strong>. All you need to do is take a clear picture of the puzzle and Google will tell you the solution. Just the kind of technology you need to see in action before you can believe it!<\/p>\n

Google Goggles 1.3 is available as a standalone app for Android on the Android Market, and as a module in the Google Mobile App for iPhone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
