Since firmware 3.1 became available, a new kind of apps showed up in the App Store. We’ve talked about this before: Augmented Reality (AR). One of those apps is “RobotVision” from Tim Sears. He created an AR applicationwhich enables you to see nearby restaurants, people who just posted a tweet on Twitter and people near you who made photos and posted them on FlickR. The video provided below, makes it look like the app is intuitive. Simple to control and easy to understand. RobotVision is powered by Bing (no Google here). Below is a list of the features.

Type in anything you want to find with Open-ended Search
Get a top down view form Google Maps by looking down

PLEASE NOTE: Australia users, there is hardly any content on here right now, so don't be disappointed, these things take a while to build up content, but it will get there we hope!
