Tech Mashup Idea: Live Street View for Google Maps

Cell phone cameras are getting much more impressive.  I just saw an 8 megapixel HD camera on an Android  phone.  Neat.  Also about time.  Android also has lots of great apps too (I really need to dig into Java programming a bit more).  After all, it's free to develop apps (eclipse.org, android.com, etc.) for it.  A friend (@alanlupsha) and I were swapping app ideas when it finally hit me: live street view feeds.

Given that phones have:

• high quality cameras to capture photos and video
• the ability to record a lat/long position, and a bearing & angle (via compass app/tilt/acceleratometers)
• the ability to send data and communicate with other devices/computers

then this app can:

• automatically geotag photos with a lat/long, direction, and angle OR
  automatically geotag frames of a video with locations along a recorded along a path (also see RoboGEO software)
• upload geotagged media to a server when you return to your home wifi connection, or any other wifi hotspot (@alanlupsha)
• server geocodes the images (with minimal effort now) and updates an internet mapping application view that can be shared individually as a single view (see Google's Street View @ the 2010 Olympic ski runs)
