Google Googles looks to be making the leap to the iPhone at long last. The app has been a firm favourite on Android since it was launched, probably due to the fact that it's pretty damned useful. For those unfamiliar with the app it is essentially a visual search tool. You take a picture of something and the app searches the web for relevant information on it ex: a picture of a landmark might bring up relevant historical information. Google Goggles can also identify consumer products through barcode scanning and again will present relevant information on said product.

The move to Apple iOS was confirmed by David Petrou, an engineer at the Big G, who said that it would launch sometime before Christmas, which isn't all that far away now. Work is currently ongoing on the iPhone version so perhaps there are still some bugs to iron out. No doubt Google Goggles will be as big a hit with iPhone users as it has been with Android users. Google's apps prove very popular on both platforms. 

Microsoft have been putting a lot of work into their app store for the forthcoming launch of Windows 7, no doubt realizing what an important part it will play in determining the success or failure of the platform as a whole. The developer tools Microsoft have made available so far have been downloaded more than 300,000 times according to the company. The dev tools are still be worked on though with the final release build due on 16th September. Microsoft are saying, however, that apps built using the beta tools shouldn't need too much tweaking.

In terms of actually submiting apps to the store early Octobe is being bandied around as the date, which of course ties in nicely with the speculation of a late October launch for the platform as a whole. The apps for Windows Phone 7 will be relying very much on Silverlight and XNA and Microsoft is stressing that this should allow devs to port apps over without too much hassle. Of course the fact that Microsoft are paying devs to create apps for their new platform probably removes some of the hassle too! 

The LG Windows phone 7 has a slide out keyboard, and what appears to be a front facing camera, implying that this might be a European market model. and the main specs are:

• 5 MP camera

• Slide out QWERTY

• Screen is very responsive and supports multi-touch with pinch zooming
