David Lynch has commented on how wonderful this would be:

Isn't this already possible with the iPhone?

[thomasswift → timcederman]

yes it sure is - I think the slant they were going for, is a streaming/on-demand app linked in to a massive content provider, but other then that if you have a little bit of time and a little bit of handbrake, you can be that 'v for vendetta' guy (although your battery might not make it)

I can download TV shows and movies on my 3GS over the air.

We'd be into 3 and 6. (Some of the others are fine ideas, but depend on doing deals with other parties.)

The Minority Report display/control is never going to work. At least not in generic situations. Unless you are Mr. Bodybuilder, you are going to get tired of holding your arms out all day.

#1 is FanFeedr: http://www.fanfeedr.com

The guys who did it are friends of mine and I think they did an amazing job.

There are lower hanging fruits for the time being, imo.

[jexe → Tichy]

I believe you, but do you have something(s) in mind?

[Tichy → jexe]

Yes, but I won't have time to start something before October, so I am not ready to share.

I'm working on #3, but the technology for the AR part isn't quite there yet (or at least doesn't have a public API).
