There’s an app for the! Everywhere you go, every problem you have, you will find that “There’s an app for that”. I have always wondered just how far can we go with applications? In my research for new apps I have discovered that there is room for improving existing apps, just as the iPod, iPhone and other electronics have been improved, so is the need for improving the existing ones. “At Google, researchers are trying to make a currently unrealized future a reality by investing heavily in research into computer vision.

I am sure there are other ways it could be done but I think the vision is a start to something great. This is a few of the apps the were thought of in 2008 and we are currently using them 1) Use iPhone to tag people. You can already take a picture and assign it to a contact. It is just a matter of time before these pictures will available to a search engine, doing it on the phone will be quick and fun. 2) Paperless Receipts & Digital Business Cards. 3) Physical Browsing & Digital Shopping.
