Default New Goggles Version Takes on Puzzles

http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/20...le+Mobile+Blog)

"The new Goggles 1.3 client for Android can scan barcodes almost instantly. All versions of Goggles can now recognize print ads in popular magazines and newspapers. Finally, Goggles has also learned a fun new trick for Sudoku fans."

Google released a new version of Google Goggles and has added some very cool new features.  It can now recognize all mainstream print ads since August 2010 and solve Sudoku puzzles!  Apparently it's faster too which is always a nice touch.  I had to test the Sudoku solving so I went to www.websudoku.com.  Google Goggles managed to conquer an "evil" difficulty puzzle in about 3 seconds on my Droid X.  It's even cool to watch it populate the empty boxes  Google Goggles is a tool I've had on my phone for a long time that I know I don't use enough.  I often forget how much it can do, like translation and business card scanning.  What's the coolest thing you've used it for?  Have you tried any national monuments or things you really didn't expect it to recognize?
