From CNET News.com:
The year of the GPS-enabled camera is nearly upon us.
So predicts Kanwar Chadha, founder of GPS chip designer Sirf Technology. "Most (camera makers) are seriously planning location-enabled cameras. The first," he said, "you'll see next year."
Chadha has a vested interest in the technology, so take that bullish prediction with a grain of salt, but don't discount his expertise, influence, and connections. And do pay attention to a new technology Sirf is developing that Chadha promises will let GPS devices find their location within 10 seconds of being switched on.
If his prediction comes true, it'll be good news for those of us who want to know where our pictures were taken as well as when.
Adding location data to photos--a technology called geotagging--is potentially useful, though some are worried about privacy implications.
