You don't know how many times I wished for this....

In Tokyo, my dream has come true. There were numerous times I looked at some object, knew it had significance, but had no idea what it was. And I also had no easy way of ever finding out. I can't ask Google to do a search when I have no words for my question.

I read this article in the NY Times with great interest. You can point your mobile in the direction of a monument, and it will tell you what it is. It works with restaurants or hotels as well. You point the phone, and it provides a list of choices, as well as how far away each place is.

Sorry, technology not available in the US.
