Using the new tool on an Android-powered mobile, people can search by taking a photo of something (such as a book, landmark, bottle of wine, logo, or store), instead of typing the word they’re trying to look up, and Google will instantly return information on that object: the flavors and notes of that bottle of wine, or reviews for that book you’re holding.

I wish the iPhone had the same capability, but I guess I am just going to have to hold out on that. The Android powered mobile phone seems to be getting some really cool apps from Google. I do not know if that is enough for me to jump ship just yet. I will wait and see what Apple will do in 2010.

See a demonstration of the new real-time search feature in the video below. Follow Google’s search event live on Twitter with the hashtag #googlesearch. Google’s announced that they’ve inked partnerships with both Facebook and MySpace to pull in data in real-time. For Facebook, that means public Facebook Pages, and for MySpace, it means any stream data that is publicly available.

This is on top of the partnership that the company announced with Twitter back in October.
