Latest iPhone 2.0 beta adds geo-tagging to Camera photos

From Apple Insider -

A new beta of Apple's iPhone Software v2.0 Update released privately to a select group this week adds a few new preferences and the beginnings of geo-tagging support for the Camera app. Location-aware services such as "Maps" and "Camera" now ask the user's permission before transmitting data used to identify their current geographical location. The addition is interesting in that it suggests Apple is actively working on adding support for geo-tagging photographs.

Essentially, geo-tagging is the process of adding geographical identification metadata to media files such as latitude and longitude coordinates -- or even names of places -- so that those files can later be referenced, searched, and grouped based on their origin.
