Google has released an App that is similar to the Eden of the East program,
Google Goggles, it uses image recognition, so naturally the phone you access the app on must have a camera.
It is available on Android, iPhone and Blackberry devices.
The app is still somewhat in development, so it doesn't recognize all objects. It can only recognize things such as paintings, landmarks, street signs and business cards. It cannot recognize objects such as animals, handbags and foods.
