iPhoto 6.0.5 Google Maps Integration And Apple GPS-enabled Device?
MacTelChat has found hidden references in iPhoto 6.0.5 that show Apple is preparing iPhoto for integration with Google Maps. It appears as though a hidden button in the interface would allow hidden GPS attributes about a photo to link with Google Maps and show where in the world a picture was taken.
This news comes as AppleInsider revisits a patent application discovered in September by MacNN for a "multi-functional handheld device." According to the patent, the device could contain a multitude of hardware features, including:
- Microphone
- Force Sensing
- Camera
- GPS
- Cellular radio
AppleInsider also notes that Apple may be behind a survey conducted in the spring, which asked users to "rate their preference of form factor designs for a next-generation Internet handheld device."
