A neat bit of technology headed for your phone soon: Augmented Reality (AR).
Augmented reality is a technology that overlays digital information on what you see in real life. One of its most widely used applications will be in cell phones. Users will look at real life things with their cell phones, and AR will overlay information about what is in view.
Say you're in Paris. If you look at the city, AR can provide you with a review of a restaurant you're looking at … a Wikipedia entry on the Eiffel Tower… or bits on the history of the French Revolution. For information junkies, it's going to be terrific stuff.
