New iPhone App Uses Video in Amazing Way

This iPhone App takes advantage of the new video camera and GPS on the iPhone 3GS to provide a visual overlay of the NYC subway system through your video camera to show you which subway stations are closest to you.

This is an amazing mashup of iPhone technology and it provides real-time data based on where you are and what you want to do. This speaks directly to me to the idea of connected web of data that Tim Berners-Lee was talking about in the Ted video I posted recently.

This is as exciting use of the iPhone as I've seen, and I'm sure it's only the beginning of how we can begin use to web-enabled phones to help us in ways we never imagined.
