I don't have a G1, but isn't this already possible and enforced? Applications have to state what special functionality they want to use in the Manifest: http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/Manifest.permission.html I thought when users installed an app that intended to access the internet or their location, it asked them if they wanted to grant permission? > Additionally, the user should know if the app > tagging the photo also tries to post its location to a web server. I could be wrong, but that seems rather difficult or impossible. So you fetch the location and get back an object... then you pull out the lat / lon as basic numbers, how do you track those in memory? How do you keep this information tagged so that Android automagically knows to throw a red flag when that random set of bytes is sent over the network? I don't think you can get more granular than "do I trust this app I'm installing with my location?". Brett
