Right now, Cyclopedia, NearestWiki, Wikitude or the Wikipedia channel on Layar are our best options available. I am as impatient as you are. cheers, Chris Something more along the lines of IDG’s prototype work:

A conceptual merger of the first link, using the technology of the second, referenced against a library like Wikipedia… accessed with a mobile device, view with a stereoscopic display built into a fashionable pair of eyewear.

Right now, Cyclopedia, NearestWiki, Wikitude or the Wikipedia channel on Layar are our best options available.

I am as impatient as you are.

It puts a whole load of text against a location, but does not easily let me understand what somewhere was like at this point - and what the surrounding places were like. For me, wikipedia is the starting point, we'd need to slice the data and information by time. I’ve seen those apps and like them but what they’re not offering me is the time dimension.

Both pull up any Wikipedia entries that have GPS data associates, which generally means just the sort of historical information you speak of. Cyclopedia is iPhone 3GS Wikitude is both iPhone 3GS and Android. cheers, Chris Have you looked at Cyclopedia or Wikitude?

Cyclopedia is iPhone 3GS
Wikitude is both iPhone 3GS and Android.

That's exactly how I love to watch TV content. More info on tap :) I like your point about getting more details from TV via the internet. That’s exactly how I love to watch TV content.

I can see where my friends are - also what they have recommended, plus get the Yelp reviews. That's the theory, it's still got hiccoughs. I'm guessing some of the other similar apps do the same as well Although I agree with the fact we're still a long way from actually getting the infrastructure. I'm just approaching this from the user end, saying 'I want'! And yes, if useful to me, I'd pay. I already pay for services that I find useful (Flickr, blog hosting, some iphone apps, VPN etc) Interesting, your example exists – foursquare does it.

Improve mobile broadband speeds like Sweden/Singapore 2. Mobile CPU speeds need to be faster to process the data 3. Data owners need to structure their data for use as linked data. So multiple data sources can be chained together to create these mashups. 4. These datastores need to be easily accessible (RESTful in the cloud) For example a simple data store of london restaurants is relatively easy based on my GPS location but I also want that linked to my chosen review site data store and then further filtered by my social graph and all of this in realtime. The question is even if we can overcome the technical limitations over the next few years - what would you be prepared to pay for such services.
