Juniper Research has a new report on mobile augmented reality apps and services. According to the research company, this market is expected to reach $732 million by 2014 from paid-for app downloads, subscription-based services and advertising. The “Mobile Augmented Reality” report found that annual revenues from AR are unlikely to exceed even $2 million during 2010, due to simple fact that only a small minority of smartphones will be AR-enabled

Germany and the UK have been getting their taste of the Motorola ( NYSE: MOT ) Milestone (better known as the droid on this side of the pond), and now France gets to join in the fun. Online retailer Rue du Commerce is offering it unlocked, SIM-free for 549 Euros , which is knocked down to 520 for their holiday sale going on right now. A lot of folks would prefer to hold out for a carrier-subsidized handset, but Rue du Commerce does offer payment plans that split up the cost into three or five chunks

Every now and then tech companies will launch a product that’ll make you think, “Wait, why weren’t we doing this all along?” Universal Studio’s new “Flipper” disc is one of those: a two-in-one disc that’s Blu-ray on one side and DVD on the other. Universal is rolling out the dual-format disc beginning with the Bourne trilogy ( Bourne Identity, Bourne Supremacy and Bourne Ultimatum ). Each Flipper disc will cost about $30 — about the same as most Blu-ray titles cost brand new

There’s almost a comedy about this next story: Australia has banned another video game because it’s too violent. (What is it with Australia and banning violent video games?) The game is CrimeCraft , and it has been refused classification by the ratings board down there. The game was refused classification because “there is insufficient delineation between the ‘fictional drugs’ available in game and real-world proscribed drugs.” In other words, the in-game drugs aren’t “fake enough” for the Australian Classification Board

Yet another game, CrimeCraft, refused classification in Australia
Does anyone remember the Japanese anti-burglar mat for stores and restaurants I blogged a few months ago? Well, there’s another security system from Japan and it clearly raises the bar: It’s a new mechanism, dubbed Capture, for these places and it sprays stinky agent on thieves who won’t be able to get rid of the stench for a week.

Put all of that aside for a minute, for there’s new news: Apple and Psystar have struck a deal ! The deal, which ends a 17-month-long legal battle, means Psystar will stop selling computers pre-loaded with Mac OS X.

Nokia ( NYSE: NOK ) purchased Qt almost 2 years ago and since then have been working tirelessly to bring the native C++ runtime, with bits of C and Webkit mixed in, to both Symbian and Maemo platforms. In a world less cruel than the one today, Nokia would write an application in Qt and it would run on both a Symbian and Maemo powered device with no porting required

Earlier this year, in September, Urho Konttori, Project Manager at Nokia ( NYSE: NOK ), showed off a Super Nintendo emulator called DrNokSnes on his Nokia N900. The first sentence of my article highlighting that demonstration was: “The amount of lawyers with dollar bills in their eyes right now is astronomically large.” It didn’t take long for Nintendo to spot Nokia’s mistake, and now they’re being investigated. Nintendo Senior Public Relations Manager for the UK, Robert Saunders, said: “We take rigorous steps to protect our IP and our legal team wille examine this to determine if any infringement has taken place.” Nokia has already taken down one video, but Urho’s is still up on YouTube

Nokia ( NYSE: NOK ) will be shipping an XpressMusic device to the world’s largest mobile operator in terms of number of subscribers – China Mobile ( NYSE: CHL ) — or at least the carrier’s logo on the phone suggests so. It’s the Nokia 5132 XpressMusic, an entry-level candybar, which looks pretty much the same as Nokia’s other device – 5130 XpressMusic. Expect a 2-inch QVGA screen, 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, “advanced music player,” and of course a microSD expansion slot (a 1GB card is included in the box)

Woho makes a range of small bike bags which are most likely to be used for tool kits, but could also be great for carrying cellphones, iPods and cash. The lineup consists of handlebar and saddlebags, but here we’re looking at the Classic Roll, partly because it sounds so tasty, and partly because you can hang it just about anywhere. The classic roll is made from a translucent vinyl-like material which keeps the water out (the zipper is also weatherproof) and because it is see-through, you can throw a light inside and have the whole sack glow

The Pro-View wireless camera display squints its eye up to the viewfinder so you don’t have to. The two-part gizmo uses a video camera to peek into the optical viewfinder of a DSLR and beams the image up to 500 feet where it can be viewed on a 640 x 480 LCD screen, similar to the resolution on the last generation of DSLR cameras (around 3K pixels). The transmitter comes in a variety of fits designed to work with most DSLRs from Canon, Nikon, Olympus and Sony, and you can use up to four of these with one screen/receiver unit, flipping between them or showing all four on screen at once

French developer White Birds has created a new iPhone game called Babel Rising, which sees you in a powerful role to prevent humans from building a tower to heaven. In your mission, you’re equipped with five spells: lightning, tornado, fire from heaven, tsunami, and earthquake, and even the direct finger of God. As expected, the little humans are in constant action, doing their stuff ’round the clock like they’re in Dubai before the credit crisis.

Indian operators should start blocking several million mobile phones starting from today, December 1st, as part of the government decision to ban handsets without a valid IMEI. According to earlier estimates, there were as many as 25 million handsets being used without an IMEI number, though that number shrank as the deadline announced by the government approached. While operators have been offering a reprogramming service to insert a valid IMEI into the handsets, it is thought that there are still millions of potentially illegal handsets in use
