The iPhone “Icon Ceiling” has been broken: is this...
If Steve Jobs was still around, i'd predict that Apple would wait a few years after Google Goggles. They'd work to get it right, and the future smart phone wouldn't have a screen at all.
In post-jobs world though, its going to be a me-too game.

I think you mean Google Glass. Goggles is their app for scanning photos and identifying things.

Google Goggles used to be site previews, IIRC.

I think those are called Instant Previews.

Ahh, gotcha. Yeah, I had no idea they'd called it Goggles, but that wouldn't surprise me.
