The Lenovo Yoga Book

I am trying to get over the hump on this one. I love the idea of it but I can't get over the cost vs. useage. I also really like a REAL keyboard not a screen keyboard but having the dual screen and note taking functions seems like a neat idea to me.

Google Lens Announcement peaked my interest

My first reaction to reading the announcement on this product is that with the combination of image recognition and using location information this would be a great tool to put together an app for self-guided tours of places that we visit.

Of course this comes on the heels and just coming back from a trip out west where I drove from Las Vegas through the Mojave Desert to Palm Desert to visit my mother and her sister. Stopping and taking pictures along the way could have been enhanced by information that could have been pulled up about those places that I was taking pictures of.

My wife and I also enjoy doing self-guided walking tours when we visit Charleston South Carolina and Savannah Georgia and I can't help but Wonder all being able to point your phone at a certain building and being able to pull up the information on that building or monument, Park or Vista would bring much more enjoyment to our tour.

I am looking forward to seeing how this progresses as Google makes this application available.
