Now translate text in photos
The Google Goggles uses Google’s machine translation technology and image recognition capabilities to create an additional layer of useful context. So if the user takes a photo from his Android device, the application will translate the text in the photo in a fraction of a second! Currently it only supports German-to-English translations.
I can’t wait to the see the day when Google comes up with a realtime voice translation device. We will never need to learn another language. 🙂

New age business cards Part 1
Ever wondered what your co-worker did last weekend? Amnesia Razorfish in Australia made it easy to find out with a Microsoft Surface staff directory application.
The application uses Surface tags printed on all Amnesia Razorfish business cards to show extra information about employees such as blog posts, tweets and Flickr photos.
With business cards like these…I don’t see why the clients would not be jumping to work with them. 🙂
Square iPhone Payment System
Twitter’s inventor and ex-chairman, Jack Dorsey has just created another revolutionary product called the ‘Square iPhone Payment System’!
The innovation is in a small, plastic card reader that fits in to the headphone jack of an iPhone (or iPod Touch) and transfers the credit card’s swipe data to the app. After the employee enters the amount to charge, the customer confirms by scrawling their signature with their finger and then either one enters the customer’s email address to send the receipt to.
With Square, accepting payments will be faster, convenient and paperless. It will allow anyone from a hot dog vendor to a bike messenger to process credit cards on-the-go. 😎
You can read up more about the benefits on it’s beta web site SquareUp.com.
A demo video of the product can also be seen here…
