While reading my blog-feed (is that what it's called?...) I stumbled across this story on TechCrunch...
"I used to scowl when I saw people walking down the street with eyes locked on their phones, but necessity has gotten me in the habit of doing it too. Thanks to a new app called Transparent Screen though, now I can do it free from the fear of falling into an open manhole or into a large fountain."

The app works by projecting an image from the camera onto the screen of the device using it; why this wasn't though of earlier, I have no idea, but I'm not going to complain about it's development.
Unfortunately, using the camera in combination with other applications simultaneously will probably have a negative impact on the battery life. I'm downloading the app right now to do some testing, expect an update in the near future.
