I thought I should share this gem with the list:
An iPhone application that takes your location via GPS, lists articles
about nearby towns/buildings/objects/etc., and reads them to you via
speech synthesis. Instant free audio tour guide, (almost) anywhere.

Only works on big things like towns or buildings. Now what I'd like to
see is museum exhibits that are marked with something like [[QR Code]]
that you get your camera to scan then take you to the relevant
article. Technically possible with existing tools but a wider
implementation might be interesting (getting the museums to agree is
another problem).
