Re: [apple-iphone] iphone camera embeding location in photos

I'm with you, Bill. I will not use an iPhone camera app that does not have
Geo Tagging. As far as privacy goes, I found a book printed by AT&T in my
driveway the other day that had my name, address, and phone number in it. I
sure hope they didn't give it to everyone. They will be able to see where I
live.
