Saw this on WIMP. It does not work on droids yet but this seems pretty cool.

I just downloaded it, it is pretty cool. It's not quite as seamless as the demo, but it's close.

wow very cool, but I have a Droid

That's pretty amazing.

If you point it at an ugly gal and translate "Ugly to Babe" do you see a babe?

Its neat indeed, but:

It only translates word for word, no grammar. So you may get a phrase like "Bathroom where is please?"

And it only works on very simple fonts, fancier fonts it will not work on or hand written stuff.

But, its a great start.

It looks like it would be useful for reading simple stuff, like road signs.

sometimes you just need a little help, even a word for word translation is still very helpful if not the definative answer
