Actually, EXIF already has tags for lat/long data. And, there have been cameras with GPS capability out for years, but they have traditionally been pretty niche (law enforcement, insurance, etc) in their usage. That has changed due to all the mapping and location-aware apps that are out there now, but the camera manufacturers are kind of stuck in a pixel-density rut right now, and for the most part aren't very creative on features. The nice thing about this little unit, if it works as promised, is that I can use it across all my cameras, nice when on a trip.
In both cases, you have told me you moved a phone over when you were already on their network. I started a new account on their network at the same time, and ATT had their heads up their collective arses, and they absolutely insisted on a 2 year contract. Not a troll, just a fact. Read the post next time.
@Shortfuse-
I see why you call yourself Shortfuse. It had nothing to do with me sticking a stupid SIM card into the phone. While their guy was making sure that their network would recommend my phone, it would not, since the HTC TyTN_II was not yet recognized on their network. Nothing to do with SIM. Their drone has to put a phone type into the system, *even though it should not make any difference*, before it will allow that phone to work on their "open" data network. I finally got him to just plug in another phone model, and I was on my way.
Someone needs to tell the AT&T offices how easily "any" unlocked device will work on their network. I brought an unlocked HTC TyTN II to them to open an account, and not only did they *still* force me to get a two-year contract, but then they had one devil of a time getting it to actually work. I stood there for over an hour and a half.

Or, how about having an "unlimited" data plan, only to find out you have to pony up 15 more bucks a month so you can get email on your Blackberry? I guess "unlimited" just means different things on an "open" network, huh?
Can I have it?
Looks like fun.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"With all the new multitouch capable monitors coming out, which one is the best? With the release of Windows 7 I really want a touchscreen monitor for my desktop. I'm looking to get a Full HD monitor that supports multitouch and can still look great during gaming and movies. Which one has the best specs for the price?"
