Apple has made its SDK 3.1b3 available to developers. Today’s news is that Apple is making a video API available so that developers can retrieve the video feed from the internal camera to build augmented reality apps. The last time we checked, AcrossAir is already doing this, but it might get easier, who knows. If you wonder what Augmented Reality is, check this demo of AcrossAir.

Interestingly enough, Apple has not approve existing augmented reality apps, may be because they want everyone using the same API. Here’s another example:

Apple Inc: Apple Inc was founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne as a computer company wich is often credited to have initiated personal computing. After a meteoric rise in the 80s, Apple had lost the personal computing battle against Microsoft and others in the 90s. But in the late 90s and early 2000s, the company came back to profitability by focusing on less products and started using industry-standard components. Apple's largest business is now in the smartphone space, with the iPhone representing more than half of the revenues and an even larger part of the profits.
