GPS to control kids

30% of Disney Mobile’s subscribers use GPS location-tracking services once every other day, and about 70% come from the handset.
Disney Mobile is a MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator), which was founded last year and has special services for families.

It’s up to you if you find this kind of control good or bad. This service offers some good possibilities for parent for younger kids, but I can’t imagine that in Europe such a service would be accepted.

ZoneTag Feature

ZoneTag is a software for your phone developed by YAHOO! Research to upload photos to flickr straight from your phone.
This wouldn’t be something to mention but ZoneTag also supports geotagging. Which a GPS-enabled device your photos are tagged with the location of your current position and will be positioned on the photo-map within flickr.

Great idea for your next trip.
