This information is available in an iPhone app called Plane Finder.
One of the updates they made to the software allowed planespotters to use the iPhone's GPS and compass to point the device at the sky and it would identify the plane(s) you were pointing to (augmented reality).
Due to the obvious implications, the update was rescinded.
It's a fascinating bit of technology. I watched my friend's flight from Sydney to Vancouver for a bit. : )
Similar software is available for shipspotting.
