Today Google showed off a new Labs feature within its Google Goggles software. Now, with Goggles, you can take a picture of foreign language text, and Goggles will send the picture to Googles servers where it will use optical character recognition to define the text, translate it, and return it to the user. Goggles is only available on Android devices running 1.6 and higher.

2.0?

I have a myTouch 3G that runs 1.6 and I have Goggles on it. So, is the instant language translation portion of Goggles only available on 2.0 then? 🤨

Where did you get the idea that it was for 2.0 only? It says right in the phonescoop article that it's available for 1.6 or higher 😕
