Can anyone who has an Android phone who has tried this out for a few hours/days report on how well this works in practice? This looks pretty fantastic, especially if it can also read stuff like QR codes, etc.

It works exactly as advertised. Delightfully accurately.

Just gave it a test and it works pretty well. The image needs to be clear, but it was able to read the American Express logo off of my bill, a website address off of a keychain, and the Time Warner logo off of the remote. Edit: I tried an image of the Centrino and Vista logos side by side on my laptop and its top result was for a German book. It did get the Centrino logo in the Other results, though.

google just started a campaign for "favorite places" google.com/favoriteplaces that uses QR - I assume these are not entirely unrelated.

This works really well. Picked out the KU logo and Swingline staplers perfectly. Choked on a big box o Jolly Ranchers. I'll prolly keep futzing with this for the rest of the day now.

  Took a picture of a Halflife 2 poster I have in my office (http://store.valvesoftware.com/productpages/prints/product_HL2DogvStriderPoster.html http://store.valvesoftware.com/productpages/prints/product_H...) - not only did it return a strider battle youtube but also a wiki article on it.

Worked pretty good on logos around the office. Also great for business card, recognised all the data, but the add to contact was not selecting the most relevant data. It did great with QRCode too, but those were already easy to read. It's faster with Barcode Scanner.

Worked with a bottle of A1 steak sauce and a restaurant logo - although I think it used OCR actually for the 2nd one, but still impressive.
