Re: Layar

Wow this is great! There are a whole host of different "layars" you can use. Wikipedia, nearby tweeters, nearby food and drink etc. Not been able to give it a decent go yet as I'm stuck in the office but even here it gives a decent indication of what it can do.

Re: Layar

Very cool and pretty impressive, good integration with Google and wikipedia etc make it much more useful than I expected it to be. But while impressive, I can't say I am completey convinced how useful the AR actually is and standard google maps is easier to use.
