19 Nov 2009 08:00:00 PST

Written by Mark Wilson

Opinion: 10 iPhone Apps To Augment Your Sad Reality

12 Nov 2009 17:00:00 PST

Written by John Herrman
True to their title, augmented reality apps add something to what you see, using a combination of camera, GPS, and sometimes, in the case of the iPhone 3GS, a compass. The result is something like a real-life heads-up display on your phone, and it's spectacular.
