Intridea’s Car Finder for the iPhone is not yet another car finding application thanks to the use of augmented reality. In real life, this translates into a new layer displayed on top of the live camera view, showing directions to your car. Of course iPhone OS 3.1 is required and so is the latest iPhone 3GS (compass AND GPS are needed).
Prior to finding the car, you’ll need to mark where you parked it, so that application knows the final destination. Once that is cleared, next morning (I presume), simply start the app and follow arrows on the screen. Car Finder will even show you how far you are from your destination, which can come quite handy.
Finally the price – Car Finder could be yours for 99 cents. AppStore link is here.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
