Augmented Reality is the overlapping of digital information and physical environment. Sci-Fi has often portrayed A.R. as interactive floating transparent computer screens projected into the air, or perhaps the most absolute example: standing inside an entirely computer generated world.

I burst out laughing when I read the part about the iPhone being an A.R.device because it has a touch screen. What a joke.
Touchscreens have been around for a long damn time... I remember my first encounter with one back in '86. They've been in use on portable devices such as palm pilots for quite some time. This is not revolutionary at all, nor does it represent augmented reality.
