I'll bet that, Any Day Now, digicams will gave GPS integrated into  
them. I can't figure out what's taken them this long.

As the megapixel wars subside, the scrappy, hungry competitors will  
have to do *something* to keep N***n and C***n from "Microsofting" the  
entire camera market -- are you listening, Olympus? How about an E-5  
with built-in GPS?

I'm unsure what segment this will burst out in. They might take the  
"GM model" and put it in the Cadillac first, but with simple GPS a two- 
chip solution, someone might decide to start tucking them in high-end  
consumer cameras first. We all know how well the "GM model" has been  
working lately...
