In the land of the keitai (Mobile phone in Japanese) we have a carrier, AU, which sells GPS enabled mobiles to everyday consumers for use in Location Based Services such as city guides/navigation systems. The keitai I use is by Casio (http://www.au.kddi.com/seihin/kinobetsu/seihin/a5403ca/index.html in Japanese), and it's a 2Megapixel GPS enabled unit. After taking a photo there is an option to grab your coordinates, and this information is stored in the JPEG as EXIF metadata. Now you can attach this to an email and shoot it off to a server for some fun.

Phones really could be great for this. Camera, GPS, and ability to upload to web all on one small device, and you can talk to people on it to.
It is neat that you could have a "where I have been" section of yoru website that works kind of like a visual blog. Whenever you are out taking photos it automatically gets posted to your 'Visual Blog"
