Social tag. When you first take a photo of someone, the phone asks you to name them. From then on, it does all the hard work of recognizing that person again in future snaps, and linking up their social networking profiles so that you can share your photos faster.
Is that done on-device, or using a remote service? I wish reviews would make this distinction. And I wish developers would put back some of the processing (another example: speech analysis) on to the devices themselves, now that they've got CPUs that put my netbook's to shame. I guess there's still the issue of draining your battery by actually tapping into those vast computing resources.
- pja 14y agoGiven that current digital cameras can do this on the camera processor, it seems plausible that it's done on the phone.

I guess there's still the issue of draining your battery by actually tapping into those vast computing resources. I really think battery capacity is the reason this isn't happening. Battery capacity is really lagging behind everything else. Seems like every new phone that comes out is faster than ever, and runs out of power faster than ever.
