Image Recognition Technology on Japanese Cell Phones
I have always wondered if this would happen. Image recognition on Cell Phones. Maybe it has already been introduced but as far as I'm concerned it hasn't ( I don't pay attention to mobile technology, a phone is a phone to me). Japanese company J-magic has come up with a nifty little online service named Kaocheki, enables one to send digital photo's of themselves to the service, and find out what celebrities the resemble most. Odd service isn't it? But i guess its enertainment in the end isn't it.

Sounds like fun, but to me its a pointless reason to get a new phone. This new age is about convergence, we need more new features. this is why the I-Phone will be such a success!
Hmm, this sounds quite interesting, not that there is a need to see what celebrity looks like you, but i guess it opens the door for many more possibilities ^^
