Well, its not the same as the real thing, but check it out. See how the iPointer®
supports next generation mobile services such as walking tours, city
guides, pedestrian navigation, mobile local search, and targeted
advertising.
The iPointer® makes it easier for you to learn about your surroundings. Simply point your iPointer® enabled mobile phone at something you want to learn about such as a retail store, restaurant or historic church and receive text, audio, and pictures about that point-of-interest.
The iPointer® is a mobile information pull system. You only receive information on locations that you point at.
The iPointer® delivers only when and what you want and in turn gives the advertiser a true warm lead, because the customers have asked for information. The value of a warm sales lead is 50 times that of a cold one.
