You can add one more geotagging method to our How to Geotag Your Photos post last week. Soon the iPhone will do it for you.
In the latest build of the iPhone 2.0 software, Apple has added a system wide "Location Service", and you can choose whether you want to let the camera application to add positional data to your photos.
The ambiguous wording – Location Services – doesn't reveal whether this will be done by GPS or by the iPhone's current triangulation methods. What it does mean, though, is that geotagging is about to break big. The iPhone is already the most popular camera phone on Flickr. And when the 2.0 software goes live, it could also give us an interesting look at just where all those unlocked, black market iPhones have gone. We're guessing China.
