For those too lazy to click the link, it's a blog post about wordsnap OCR, a character recognition software for android.
Quote from the link:
... Perhaps as a hyperlink to Google, or along with Google Translate results. Then I can justifiably use the buzzword of the day, “augmented reality”! It looks that it might just be possible, but let me get back to you in a week or two....

Is it possible to create an app like this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpaJB...eature=related
for the n900 or is it impossible because the N900 has no digital compass?

this is a link showing an idea for navigation with the same principal.
You can take a snapshot of an address and then the software recognizes the text, sending this to the navigation system. Sounds like a good application for the ability to use OCR on your smart phone.

a few great resources for AR:
http://gamesalfresco.com/
and ISMAR conference (which is coming):
http://www.ismar09.org/
N900 is actually a perfect device for AR so far. Although many concepts has been developed on iPhone, they are never actually being able to put it on apps store yet. N900 will not have such hassle. It's all by community itself.

There is a whole thread dedicated to how to hook up an external compass to the N900:

There is an open-source OCR enginge called Tesseract which seems relatively well accepted and documented. Might be a good place to start for someone interested in playing with text recognition in maemo..
It's been used in various licence plate recognition experiments:
