Its not the most exciting wireless system, but GPS could be something that makes the iPhone stand out.

Photography
Any phone thats worth its salt nowadays will have a camera. One feature that has been found in iPhoto 06 is the use of Geotagging. Lets say the iPhone has GPS. Every time you take a photo, the phone gets the current GPS location and saves it to the photo. This makes uploading to Flickr easyer and perhaps useable in an iLife app?

Buddys
Lets say you’r best mate has an iPhone When the phone is turned on, you could locate where your buddys are, see below.

iLife
There has been pleanty of rumors about anouther iLife app. A mapping application. Lets call it “Columbus”. “Columbus” would have full mapping abbilitys. It would also be able to get photos from your iPhone and Flickr to show more close and acurate pictures of that area. A mini version of Columbus could gove you infomation about where you are, where to go and where your friends are. If you think about it, iCal tells you what your doing, Address Book says who your meeting, and Columbus shows you where your going.

Theft
Lets say that your flashing your iPhone about, people see it, admire it. Some people want too closer a look and take your prized possession. No fear. If GPS was in the iPhone, you would be able to track it with “Columbus”. Every time the stolen phone is turned on / off, phone call is made or text / email sent, its current location is sent to Apple’s server. This can be acessed with “Columbus”. Perhaps screenshots are sent or infomation about the theaf.
