When I can point a camera, or a Shazam enabled phone, at some arbitrary object, and instantly get back info about it, I think the way I use the web will change dramatically.

Shazam has been doing something very similar for a while now for music. http://shazam.com/uk/do/home Basically you hear a song you like, you call a service and hold up your cell phone. Instantly you're SMS'd the song title, etc, and an option to buy. Works GREAT. Fido now offer thier service in Canada. Neat stuff. - Don Actually, this is an old idea and there has been a lot of progress in the market.

This invention would change *that* how? Small keyboards in all camera phones, too, right? Being able to jump to a specific website from a picture is neat, but what about typing anything else in? This invention would change *that* how? Pardon my obtusuosity; maybe you'll have to draw me a picture... -James OK, I’m imagining it in a camera phone… small displays in all camera phones, right?

The experience of surfing the web on a small display with an inadequate keyboard is pretty unsatisfying... this might change that. Imagine this technology in a camera phone, James.

But does it have the general applicability to be a "killer app"? No aspersions on the niftiness of the invention, but I suspect it might not be. It certainly is way cool.
