How about something a bit more involved? I grabbed a nearby bag of chips to see if Google Goggles could grab the logo. Once again, no problems: The app saw that the chips were made by Lays and gave me a screen of info about the company. ()

Even an obscure product like a tub of protein powder seems to work without so much as a hiccup. Google Goggles matched the actual photo to an online image from a retailer's Web site, then gave me ample info about the stuff. ()

Next up: art. Luckily, I had a book of Magritte paintings in my office. I flipped open to a random page and took a photo. Google Goggles got it. ()

The Google gang says the app can detect and detail wine, so I figured it was worth a shot. This one took a couple of tries -- the first bottle I attempted didn't work -- but Goggles was able to pull up details about the second label I shot. ()

Text does the trick, too, whether you're looking at a business card or just words on a page. I tried capturing my name off of a recent invoice. Goggles brought up a list of Web search results for me, along with contact info and the option to add myself into my phone's directory.
