Darren, you are probably correct. As for what Google may want them for, - I think it is for the (tra-tram!) the magic filters (marketing importance of which we recently discussed in another thread) in their on-line photo-editing tools. Think of 1) chromebooks where all things are essentially done online; and 2) picasa (again, mostly online).
