Shotzoom Software is out with its latest golf app for the iPhone – Golfscape. This time they target the iPhone 4 users only, while at the same time including augmented reality into the mix. In other words, with Golfscape loaded on your shiny handset, you’ll browse around the field looking through the camera lens and eventually follow the arrows that are shown on top of the camera view. Alternatively, you can click on the dots to get more information about some specific target.

There are more than 35,000 golf courses worldwide supported with up to 40-targets per hole, meaning you will be able to use Golfscape just about anywhere.

Shotzoom Software’s latest work builds on top of the success of their earlier apps – Golfshot: Golf GPS, which is the top grossing golf app in the AppStore; and top selling golf instructional app, Golfplan, with victorious Ryder Cup Captain and 2010 British Open analyst Paul Azinger.

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.

    The Golfscape app actually also works on 3GS because that phone has a compass.
