The Location Aware iPhone: My Pocket PC Already Does It

Lifehacker has a post today filled with speculation about the new iPhone, which is expected to be announced at the World Wide Developer Conference next week. Of course, Apple is a highly secretive company, so there is not telling, but Steve Jobs is known for his showmanship so we can only speculate about what will actually be announced.

The new iPhone is expected to have AT&T’s 3G mobile broadband rather than the EDGE network the current model has. It is also supposed to an integrated GPS. The GPS should allow for geotagging of pictures, or stamping a GPS location on them so you can later find what or where you took a picture.

Of course, my iPaq 6945 already does that. The iPhone is still cool though. About the only thing the new iPhone has (besides coolness) that my Windows Mobile device didn’t already have is 3G.
