application idea: georeferenced photos

[Dean Collins]

Definitely a great application - and not just for openmoko.

Check on my blog www.collins.net.pr/blog for Microsoft Photosynth as an
idea of what the future could hold with geo-located photos.

I also think any photograph application should be storing photos on an
internet based server along with the co-ordinates and then allow
chronological viewing...as well as other references.
