acrossair, the makers of the TVGuide.co.uk iPhone app bring you Nearest Tube one of the first augmented reality apps to go live in the iPhone AppStore. Forget boring 2D tube maps! Try this amazing new application that tells Londoners where their nearest tube station is via their iPhones video function.

When you load the app, holding it flat, all 13 lines of the London underground are displayed in coloured arrows. By tilting the phone upwards, you will see the nearest stations: what direction they are in relation to your location, how many kilometres and miles away they are and what tube lines they are on. If you continue to tilt the phone upwards, you will see stations further away, as stacked icons. Only available to Apple iPhone 3GS users.

Augmented reality won't be a big hit until apple builds it into iOS

Bad Audio? There's an app for that. It's called volume controls.

You may also want to download a ruler, so you can measure a better distance to stand away from the microphone.

Interesting app though, honestly.

You stand there doing that in a quiet London street and you're going to get mugged, it's as simple as that. You stand there doing that in a busy London street and you're going to get some evil looks or barged out of the way.

This is not going to take off.
