Geotagging with the new device?

Could this be automated on the new device?

I mean, it'll have a camera + GPS + accelerometer, ...

Though i think we need a compass right? Will it have one!? :P

Why not? Just give it a try, i am sure lots of people will enjoy this.

And i don't think the new devices will include a compass nor do i think you need one (and you also don't need the accelerometer). The description says that the system generates a 360 degrees view (so no compass/direction involved) and then tries to find your image contour in that 360 deg view.
