What you don't want your mother-in-law you be able to call you and nag?
You don't want to look up your current stock values? You don't want your
camera to tell your wife exactly where you are right now? All these
features and more would be available to you with the Collin Camera. Oh,
wait they already make that camera it is called a smart-phone... and I
do not have one nor want one. As any experienced shop person can tell
you multipurpose tools are never as good as dedicated ones.
BTW: there is a similar thread over on alt.satellite.gps titled "gps and
digital photography"

unreliability of the camera just to amuse one or two geeks who think
everything in the world could be improved by becoming a computer.
