You may have heard the latest buzz phrase "augmented reality" and wondered what it means. This Bionic Eye app, although limited demonstrates very well how future apps will look like.

By simply pointing your iPhone's camera at an area and getting related info overlayed on the screen in real time opens up a lot of exciting possibilities and scenarios. The only drawback of such apps is that they're not always available on all App stores. US and UK stores seem to get preference for cool apps and usually the Middle East app stores are the most limited unfortunately.

Now, i need to upgrade my 3G to a 3GS to benefit from the compass and speed of the latest and greatest iPhone.
