Google Goggles - currently a Google Labs project - lets you take a photo and then perform a Google search for it.
Examples highlighted by Google include landmarks, books, business cards (add to contacts or do a search), works of art, wine labels, logos, and barcodes.

Search results may include traditional web search matches, similar images, and more. Where appropriate, they may also include links to Google Product Search and Google Book Search.
