It’s been long time since my last posts “Augmented Reality coming Closer to Reality“. Things were then just under development but today with thesesTwo Apps, it finally comes to the iPhone 3GS through the App Store.

Cyclopedia (iTunes Link) and Wikitude are the Two Apps which make Augmented reality possible, simply by using iPhone 3GS’s GPS technology and the inbuilt compass to locate the exact location of the Person and to which direction is he pointing. The Apps use Information from Wikipedia to display.

It simple works when you start the app and turn your camera towards any place, soon the apps locate you and then provide information about through a dead simple user interface. Apart form just Wikipedia information, Wikitude renders data from the famous international review website, Qype.

These Apps are available on the Apple Store for a price of $2. Well, theses tools can serve as guides when your on a holiday. Go to any place in the world, just remove your iPhone, Put in the App and turn your Camera towards the location and there you go! 

Wikitude allows users to add points of interest to the locations too. The sad thing about Cyclopedia is that having a Superb Visual Interface, it had been neglected for months since it’s release in July. Anyways, the apps on Android seem to work quite well but their accuracy is less compared to that of iPhone.

No. of Palm Pre’s Sold in June? An amazing 300,000!

Well, Charter Equity Research Reports that Palm Has sold Over 300,000 Palm Pre handsets on June. This number is quite higher than the one in May which was 70,000.

You may wan’t to know how did they gather the Results? Just called some of the guy’s in business and found that over 300,000 units were sold.

The reason for the numbers being low is because the Company was not much sure about the demand and because of that it just had 120,000 units ready at the time of launch which were sold in no time.

The company also says that It’s capable of producing upto 15,000 Pre’s daily and will ship like a Million phones to Sprint in the quarter of it’s first production. Good Numbers which might seem challenging to the iPhone later!

Thanks Inquirer.
