Available now in the iTunes App Store GetFugu allows iPhone users to, using their iPhone’s camera, snap a picture of a item’s logo. The application then, using image recognition can go out to the web and bring back the user information on the item.
If no image is available, you can just say the item’s name and using speak recognition. GetFugu gets you the information you need.
GetFugu is available in the App Store today, and it’s free.
I’ll be giving it a test over the next few days to see just how useful it can be.
I have always had a passion for gear and gadgets. It all started for me with the release of the very first Palm Pilot. I've always had an interest in handheld electronics. From handheld PDAs, to cell phones, Mp3 players, watches and other products, I'm the first person my friends, family and colleagues call when they need advice on tech. I have roots in the online tech. forum community. I served as the Administrator to Howard Forums.com and as a Moderator at both Treo Central.com and Blackberry Forums.net. Under the screen name “lgreenberg” I've amassed 50,000+ postings. I also manage my own YouTube channel under the user name larrygreenberg. I'm always eager to help.
