Entertainment (Mobile, GPS, MMS, photo/video)
I suggested combining several existing mobile features to better serve users. This function would utilize the GPS and MMS systems of cellphones to identify the location a picture or video was taken and when uploading these files to a computer or internet site such as Flicker, then having a map representation of the locations. In addition, using a calendar system such as Google Calendar, this interface could name the file depending on an event that is taking place. For instance, if you are at a friend's birthday party and you have this event listed on your calendar, then you take a picture, the file would be named in association with the event.
The current GPS and photo system only locates the spot that you upload the picture from. So, if you take a photo in Atlanta and are unable to upload it until you get back to Athens, then the file will be marked as Athens. This is a disadvantage that should be corrected.
Furthermore, accessibility across carriers and cellphones should be a priority! In the future, this could potentially be extended to digital cameras, given the GPS system reaches that piece of technology.
