iPhone 2.0 beta gets geotagging?

by Paul Miller, posted May 22nd 2008 at 10:41AM

Here's a nice little tidbit: word on the street is that the most recent version of the iPhone 2.0 beta has added a "Location Services" feature that encompasses what appears to be GPS-based Google Mapping, along with geotagging for the phone's camera app. Sure, even if these shots are legit, Apple is late to the party here -- other featurephone users have been geo-tagging their shots for years -- but that doesn't mean we can't condescendingly congratulate Apple for these "achievements" while simultaneously pinning screenshots to the fridge alongside that 3G preferences pane and the hand-traced picture of a turkey in crayon.

Why would that be such a hard thing to believe? Geotagging photos is logical for a phone that knows generically where you are even if it doesnt have true GPS.

seeing as the 3g on/off screenie was fake, i'll say this is fake as well. if it is real, who cares. engadget said it right that others have been enjoying this forever. this iphone is hella revolutionary!

Highly Ranked
