(Credit: Screenshot by Jessica Dolcourt/CNET) It would be nearly impossible to write about the forthcoming Zagat iPhone app without comparing it with Yelp’s newly released update. For starters, Zagat To Go 3.0 for iPhone will have augmented reality when it comes out (we received a sneak peek.) As with Yelp’s “Monocle” feature (video), first introduced as an Easter Egg in Yelp 3.0, Zagat To Go’s augmented reality search option will layer a business’ location over the real-world view that you see through the camera lens of an iPhone 3GS (and 3GS only–this is typical of augmented reality technology.)

And then there’s this goody: Zagat To Go lets registered users submit their ratings and quippy remarks about a business directly from the iPhone app–or from their table. While Yelp’s iPhone app gives you 140 characters, Twitter-style, to write a quick tip, the app will only let you begin a draft for a rated review to finish up later from a computer. Zagat To Go throws 240 characters your way and lets you submit your witty ratings then and there.
