ARIder system makes iPhone 3GS a mobile mapping power tool
Although bike-mounted GPS devices are fairly common in Tokyo, a new contraption that uses the iPhone 3GS takes the concept to a new level. Created by Ubiquitous Entertainment, the ARider system combines a head-mounted display, a bike helmet and the iPhone 3GS to give riders a real-time map that uses the iPhone's compass to adjust the map to your current orientation.
The set-up can also be used to make hands-free calls and connect to Twitter using TwitBird Pro. Aside from the relief this will give bike messengers, this could also prove to be a very interesting tool for GPS-enabled life-casting. You can see video of the ARider system in action here.

Is there anything that this phone can't be made to do?
What's next, a cluster of iPhones made into a super computer to try to find the cure for cancer?

"Is there anything that this phone can't be made to do?"
1. Be affordable.
2. Work on any other network than AT&T.
There, that's two answers to your seemingly rhetorical question.

@Random Hero - ERR WRONG!!!
AT&T / Rogers are unable to hold exclusiveness anymore and iPhone will be coming shortly if it hasn't already to all the others.
IMO - Nokia still kicks ass for Open Source OS, Free Apps, and just flat out stupid power you can easily tap into...
