Love it! The only worry is that the Linux mobile space is being taken over by Google and Android. The question is, why would any mobile device manufacturer choose anything other than Android for their mobile device? (at the moment; lets see what Nokia has to show with Fremantle).

I started to post on this after my Opera Unite post, but thought it would make me a bit loud-mouthed.

I like it... would be great if the next IT would do this *beyond* the browser.

I agree with both of you.

Oh, you need a compass in your device. I didn't think of that before. That's a problem.

Just replying to myself to see if anyone is still out there ...

Based on the golf carts orientation, the display could provide a whole bunch of usefull info to the golfer. I wouldn't be supprised if this was already available at places like Pebble Beach

For that matter, the same could be done in large resorts or theme parks and with a device provided to guests for use while there.
It’s coming sooner than you think

In the next year or two, you’ll begin to see and hear a lot more about augmented reality. While most current attempts at augmented reality involve taking a picture and then waiting for a Web result, Qualcomm (and likely other chip manufacturers) are finally developing the technology that will allow phones to instantly detect augmented reality signals at 30 frames per second, meaning your phone can react to what it sees 30 times per second, faster than the human eye. With the proliferation of 4G wireless networks, the technology may start popping up in sunglasses and other eyewear, and eventually we may find a way to project it without any screens at all.



I'm not sure I agree with that 30 FPS "faster than the human eye" BS, but AR may soon be pervasive... and then quickly expected on all devices.

Now imagine paying for a localized enhancement with Near Field Com.

Maemo.org allowed me to see and touch today's future 3 years ago...

Thank you Nokia.

I hope Microsoft values what we all learned in this process. I am so looking forward to tomorrows future.

To have a choice. Monopoly is bad for everyone except the Monopolizer.
