vimeo.com — "Enkin" introduces a new handheld navigation concept. It displays location-based content in a unique way that bridges the gap between reality and classic map-like representations. It combines GPS, orientation sensors, 3D graphics, live video, several web services and a novel user interface into an intuitive and light navigation system for phones.

Augmented social networking, find information about people in public by just looking at them – it'd be easy to implement if your device recognized the devices of others.

This "OS" to succeed you mean. Wishing and hoping will mean nothing if consumers have a fundamental misunderstanding of what they're even referring to. Why cheer on networks even more closed than their major rivals? Competition? Sprint and Virgin need to catch up to the commitments AT&T and Verizon are making. I wish someone would "one-up" them, on openess, but no one is stepping up. Google is the only one holding the network's feet to the fire, with that recent spectrum auction (and the open requirement). Now THAT's making real strides.

I don't think that the iPhone has a digital compass, which is needed to augment the GPS coordinate with orientation data... Maybe the iPhone has one, but I have never heard about it anywhere.

I'm just waiting for the day that Google AI actually talks back to me.
