cnn.com — Apple's iPhone can geotag its own photos, and camera manufacturers say GPS support in cameras has become a matter of when, not if. But the software also can help you tag your own images. Clicking a photo flips it over, letting you type in a location, then showing the spot using a map. (Google supplies back-end mapping services).

It should have some kind of preference to record positioning data with photos. Normally manufacturers turn it off because of privacy risks.

most nokias, sony ericssons, HTC and the blackberry storm (unsure about the other models) that have gps/a-gps do this too, its a cool feature to have

I'm happy with a separate GPS logging device and syncing it with the photos later using GPSPhotoLinker. Since there is a good standard for how this data is to be stored in images, if Apple is doing something different I'd be livid.

What does Picasa have to do with iPhoto?

I'm surprised they didn't mention Flickr's geo-tagging abilities. It does it very well and has been doing it for years.

Which the new iPhoto integrates with out of the box. There's an iPhoto and Aperture plugin called Flickr Exporter that does this as well by letting you upload your pictures to Flickr, but my guess is this plugin will probably be going away soon now that iPhoto does it. Aperture will probably gain some of the new iPhoto features as well especially the face recognition.
