It's Monday and it's time for our new Insight podcast. In number 15 (aka AAS podcast 63), we look at news, geotagging privacy concerns, recent handset designs from Nokia and Ewan reports on truly mobile software. Give it a listen on the way home from work. Here's the RSS feed if you want to subscribe regularly.

I think geotagging photos will very very useful for me. I do a lot of walking and cycling and being able to know exactly where a photo was taken is great, especially several months later when you have forgotten exactly where you were.
Even on family holidays knowing which bit of the Ireland my photo relates to is helpful. Especially as I didn't write it down at the time because I couldn't spell it!
I anticipate that in future we will see many new apps using GPS tagged photos.

Geotagging could also serve as a safety/ law enforcement feature. I guess it depends how one uses this techology.
I really like this podcast, (it's my favorite) however, had a question as to your guy's definition of "normal" people using smartphones. Perhaps I could use further clarification: your collective view on normal people using this technology (and I quote) "... gives me nightmares" seems a little stuck up. I understand that this is your opinion, and I respect that, however; this comment struck a cord with me (as I consider myself a normal person). I probably took it out of context...
Okay... I personally like the look of (black and chrome) on my N95 8GB. I think that one would have to be statified with a products looks as well as it's features. Otherwise, I'd find it really difficult to spend $600 for a phone.

Matrix phone?! Come on! What is that?! Are you kidding me?! That serves your "functional more than style" argument? 😉 Wow, was this product even real?
