They use their pattern-matching algos to match alike pieces of fashion (I want a purse like that one that J-Lo has in this picture!).

I wonder if their API (http://www.riya.com/riyaAPI ) could be called from an iphone app. It appears that they do have an iphone app ( http://tr.im/rVGj ), but it's focused on the shopping use case.

I could definitely see this being useful on the run, but a challenge might be quality of camera phone quality (though, this goes away with time, but my iphone 3gs, cutting edge, has issue in low-light (e.g., picture of hottie in the bar use case), and hand-shake).
