In SomaView you select what kind of information you want and each category is backed by a number of different information sources. This is the main difference. As the number of single information sources in Layar grows I have the feeling that you need to know too much about what site provides which information. Therefore, SomaView tries to reduce this problem to categories. Chuck, in Layar you select the source where you want the information to come from.

Nice to have multiple players in the area, tho. Played with this app very briefly but it struck me as a Lot like Layar. Nice to have multiple players in the area, tho.

BTW: you can "fling" away the weather/address information panel if its in your way. Furthermore, touch an item on the screen to get additional information an touch on an empty space on the screen to hide the additional information. Press "Menu" to get back the categories :) Scott, thanks for reviewing SomaView!
