With the cam on this MPX220 I could take a picture of the Statue of Liberty and it would probably return a match to a porta-potty company. :? I'd think a match being made when I take the picture at a different angle would also be difficult - afterall I suspect this is done the same way they do facial structure matches by points of intersection in the picture.
Unlike "24" and "Las Vegas" where they take a picture and magically match it within seconds, this would be very difficult to do with the resolution on today's devices. Albeit, I still want Jack Bauer's phone & carrier- never runs out of battery power and, always has an awesome data and voice connection, even 3 stories underground or in a sewer. Not to mention that guy's PDA must be XGA minimally! Darn spy equipment is so cool.
I would much rather have access to a UPC matching database, or some other use for the camera like that. Of course, that wouldn't do much good for a hotel or restaurant unless we start painting UPC's on the side of buildings.
