I want to highlight a recent application available on the iPhone and iTouch (with WiFi) connection. It is called of all things “New York Subway”. The functionality is clear. It identifies subway stations and some POI locations such as fast food restaurants. Beyond the typical it also has a feature that shoes these features in an AR fashion with a feature called “Your New Eye”.

Xavier Lanier from the blog GotteBeMobile.com has a nice application review complete with some images of the application and commentary. He has some negative reviews of the application such as:

The idea behind this application is cool, but using it in the real world isn’t that thrilling of an experience. The virtual signs didn’t appear smoothly and jumped about the screen when I moved the iPhone ever so slightly. When I was outdoors I had to point my iPhone slightly upwards to get stations to appear.

I do not live in New York City, but it would be great to hear some feedback on those that live in NYC and are able to test drive this application. As many current applications, the data and information is in its infancy and as it matures as like all emerging technologies all of these negatives bugs will be ubiquitous. Your thoughts?
