Tom Coates has posted a thorough tutorial for Zonetag, Yahoo! Research’s cameraphone Flickr uploader. In his post he describes installing the software, buying the proper external GPS unit and uploading photos. Chris Heathcote has also posted reviews of several other photo uploaders (including Shozu, Meaning, and Context Watcher. If you are interested in getting this functionality on your phone these two posts are well worth the time spent reading them.
The other week I posted about adding location awareness to hardware. Most of my post centered on adding this capability to cameras for the purposes of geotagging your photos. At the end of my post I made an off-hand comment about getting location added to my phone. When I made that comment I was thinking about how that would modify services like Dodgeball (you would no longer have to actively check-in), big games (it would provide more game types like Pixie Hunt), local search & advertising (*potentially* much more relevant), and photos (for geotagging). I want this and I am glad that software providers will be ready when the hardware catches up.
