iPhone 1.2 with Location Logging Capability

iPhone 1.2 with Location Logging Capability
iPhone 1.2 with Location Logging Capability. Positional data from cell tower triangulation and WiFi hotspot locations are apparently recorded and logged in the iPhone OS 1.2. Now, location logging opens the door to some interesting features in the future. On the other hand, the fact that your iPhone could track your current position as well as your whereabouts throughout the day is a potential security and privacy issue.

iPhone Atlas found evidence of the location logging, and it looks like this:

What the next iPhone firmware does with this location logging feature? We'll have to wait and see if it's even included in the official OS release.
