Totally unreal video demo of acrossair’s latest app “New York Nearest Subway” currently pending approval at the App Store.
When you load the app, holding it flat, all 33 lines of the New York Subway are displayed in coloured arrows. By tilting the phone upwards, you will see the nearest stations: what direction they are in relation to your location, how many miles away they are and what lines they are on. If you continue to tilt the phone upwards, you will see stations further away, as stacked icons. Only available to Apple iPhone 3GS users.
This is the kind of app that makes you realise that we’re already in the future

The future, Conan?
Brilliant, simple idea and seems to be well executed. I think the emergence of these more ‘useful’ situation and location based applications and services will push the iPhone to new levels.
Exciting stuff.
