I just got word that the latest version of Yelp iPhone app brings a very interesting new feature: augmented reality. Simply put, you point your camera to a location and Yelp will try to match that against their existing reviews database.
Activating this feature seems to be quite geeky or magic though:
So you shake your iPhone 3 times. That activates a feature called Monocle. A message should come up if you activated it. A blue box will come up saying “the Monocle has been activated.” It will create a button in the top right corner. Now you should be able to look at the bars, restaurants, etc. Only works on iPhone 3GS

Make sure you are checking the other apps in the iPhone apps for geeks series and the iPhone apps promotions.
