Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 does Google Goggles in style

When it comes to Android phones, the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 is one of the prettiest faces out there. It flaunts its 4-inch capacitive touchscreen with a stylish package stuffed with a 1Ghz processor, 8-megapixel camera, GPS, WiFi and a customized Android user interface. There aren’t too many Android smartphones better suited to for the spotlight. Today, that spotlight shines on Google (NSDQ: GOOG)’s new Google Goggles visual search engine.
What you see below is the XPERIA X10 running Google Goggles. In our experience, Google Goggles is still very much a “beta” service, but seeing it run on the X10’s gorgeously expansive display makes us forget all that.

badass phone….
Wow, really fast and very impressive but goggles isn’t really designed for barcodes, there are apps like shopsavvy for that. Goggles is more about identifying things like works of art. I tried it on a painting at my parents house that had no title on the picture or frame itself and it found it and produced a load of info they didn’t even know. Of course that was on my G1 so the experience was a good deal slower and more painful than your demo!
X10 is the best phone for us.
