iPhone now stores geo data in photos!

21 Comments »

This is quite amazing! I had absolutely no idea that the software update for the iPhone (v2.0) included using the phone's geo-positional locator to tag lat and lon coords. for photos taken. I wouldn't even have known this at all if it weren't for Google Picasa's subtle icon overlay of a cross-hair for images that possess geo meta information.

So, kudos to both Apple for getting this one right, and also to Google for including this visual feedback in the Picasa application. Very nice!

RIP Google Browser Sync

I just came across this today... my tears lie on the wind of memories that echo a wonderful rich Internet experience. GBS - I shall miss thee.

Google Browser Sync

Google Browser Sync is no longer available for download. Instead, to get similar functionality, we suggest using Mozilla Weave, Google Toolbar for Firefox, or Foxmarks. Support for current Google Browser Sync users will continue through 2008. We've also posted the code to Google Code in hopes that someone will use it to develop something cool.
