Google Goggles now solves Sudoku, taking an interest in ads

Google keeps adding new features to all its applications but the new features are an improvement over the already impressive set of features Google Goggles can do! Google Goggles is basically a program that can recognise what it sees through your camera in real time and gives you search results according to that! There are three new features that Google has added to version 1.3 of its Goggles software. The visual search application for Android is now intelligent enough to decipher tricky Sudoku puzzles (and thereby suck all the fun out of them), while its algorithms have also been tweaked to make barcode scanning "almost" instant. Popular printed ads will be recognized as well, taking you to a Google search on the relevant topic. US newspapers and magazines from August 2010 are being supported for now, but we can't imagine the rest of the world should have to wait too long for this added convenience. Video of the new Goggles' Sudoku skills after the break.
