Now that BlackBerry 7 devices have arrived, the augmented reality application competition is heating up. First to launch was of course, Wikitude but now Layar has brought their augemented reality solution to BlackBerry App World. Layar browser is available now for download, and with it you can explore the things around you using your BlackBerry device and augmented reality.
