Yeah, that's why they didn't call it "augmented reality", so... I am not quite sure why they bothered blasting Nokia for it. heh.

Interesting. That video clearly shows that they'll be using the N97 form factor for Maemo devices in the future, long after Maemo has become the only operating system in use at Nokia...

EDIT: Or maybe she's an antique hound, who thought it would be cute, like having a rotary phone.

EDIT EDIT: How does he text her while rowing a boat? And what's the point of the fancy glasses if you have to take them off every time you want to do anything?
