Augmented Reality is most definitely one of the most interesting fields in the current mobile space and whilst it has been somewhat slow to fulfill its promise, the most exciting aspects remain as proof of concept, some apps are starting to push the boundaries a little farther. Case in point is Junaio's latest 2.0 update, which brings a feature called 'Glue' to the table. The feature works similar to the layers that you can add to Layar in that a content developer can choose to develop their own specific channel, but unlike Layar's layers Glue's channels can scan what the device can see for specific objects. When it finds the relevant object it can then act upon it. What exactly does 'act upon it' mean? Well, for example, in the video below you can see the handset being pointed towards a cartoon of a superhero, which then results in a 3D model of the superhero appearing onscreen and he's interactive! Tap on him and he points his gun at you. It's early days yet for the app, but looking towards the medium and long term this sort of implementation of AR could prove very exciting for advertisers who would be able to link up their real world advertising or even random objects with interesting interactive content. The app is currently available to both Android and iPhone customers so you can try it for yourself.

Apple has pretty much been taking flak from all sides recently over various problems with its latest iPhone not to mention impending anti-trust investigations over its business practices. This of course has given rise to a wealth of Apple satire, some of it funny, some of it not, and some of it really really funny. Into that last category comes this video from the Onion, and you just know it's going to be good when it's from the Onion. According to the spoof news report Apple have launched the 'Friend Bar', which is a take on the Genius Bar, but instead of solving problems the Friend Bar staff are there to just chat with Apple customers about Apple related stuff. The video goes on to say that Apple are set to launch 'iStore', a miniture version of an Apple Store that you can buy and setup in your own home. Make sure you check out the video, this has to be one of the best Apple rips we've seen so far.

It's not often you hear something positive about Symbian these days given the lacklustre progress the platform has made recently, especially when compared with the breakneck pace of innovation over on the Android campus. However, today sees some good news for Symbian fans for a change with the announcemet that Microsoft's Silverlight has come to the paltform. The addition will be available to owners of Symbian S60 5th edition devices, such as the 5800, and they will be able to get their hands on it from none other than the Ovi Store. Sadly for those using non-Nokia Symbian devices e.g. the Sony Ericsson Satio, there was no word on whether they too will be able to get a hold of Silverlight. Silverlight allows for a richer web experience with supported handsets able to access more content as well as support features like web apps, streaming media and hardware support H.264 playback. It's maybe not the pace of change some Symbian fans are hoping for, but something is better than nothing right?

It's always exciting to see what the hacking/modding community will come up with next and today's effort is pretty cool, especially if you are a Linux fan. A tutorial over on nexusonehacks.net shows you how to squeeze Ubuntu onto a Nexus One and there is even a nice video of the accomplishment to boot. Actually the video is the tutorial, guiding you through how to carry out the procedure. It runs pretty well althouhg browsing was perhaps a little awkward at times as the video narrator points out himself.
