Genius Scan is an awesome free app that allows you to use your iphone as a scanner. If you think you're OK with just taking a picture of any document, you'll find out how wrong you are once you start using this. It offers page frame detection, perspective correction, and allows you to send anything you scan as a PDF. It's good for scanning receipts, notes, or any document. Just terrific!!
Actually, of course, it's Google Goggles, which is Google's cute way of saying search by image rather than text. It's now available on the iPhone as part of Google Mobile Apps. (Droid users would have me add the word "finally"--they've had it for about 10 months.)
Once you've downloaded--or updated--your Google Mobile Apps, the next question is how to use Goggles.
You might think it will be listed among the Apps--like GOOG-411--but it's not. Instead, you use Goggles by clicking on the Search button in the lower left corner. There, you'll now see a camera button near the search term field. That's your Goggles.
Before you use it, you'll be able to watch a short video introducing Goggles to you--or, if you can't wait, you can watch it right now.
Here's a nice summary of the ways OS 4.1 improves on 4.0.

This hits a little too close to home, but is hilarious nonetheless.

As we discussed tonight, How to Disable Facebook Places is a good page from Lifehacker--a site well worth subscribing to, IMHO--on the new Facebook Places feature, and how to keep yourself from being "placed" without your knowledge or consent!
I am a HUGE fan of Lifehacker, so when they come out with a list of their favorite iPhone Apps, I pay attention. You'll see a number of apps here that we've already reviewed on AppTalk. If you want us to talk about others, just let us know!!
PS--check out Lifehacker's list of fav mac apps, too!
