Back in 2006 we posted about research at Microsoft dealing with cameraphone searching. We also listed other players in the cameaphone search space. That post is still online and many of the links (have you seen or tried Semapedia?) are live.

On Monday, at the CES Conference, Bill Gates (video here) demonstrated Mobile Navigator.
From the caption:

At CES in Las Vegas, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates shows attendees the company’s new “mobile navigator” technology that can be used to point at a person or place, and get more information. The new software will be incorporated into devices such as cameras, PDAs, and phones.
