ZoneTAG Photos
Here's some more cool stuff coming out of the folks at Flickr. It's called ZoneTag Photos and it's a service that allows users to easily upload their camera phone photos to Flickr in two simple clicks. However, the sickest thing about ZoneTag Photos is that ZoneTag will automatically tag your photos with the location they were taken at.
Check it out and go find all those photos of your 'hood.

Colorzip
Colorzip Japan and Colorzip Media are the developers and sole proprietors of ColorCodeTM, the most exciting mobile content delivery and management system ever imagined. ColorCodeTM is the only patented technology in the world that allows mobile phones and PDAs to read color coded images and instantly download music, images and data from a server.
Colorzip's simplicity is rivaled only by its versatility. Because it's server-based, a ColorCodeTM can be the gateway to a website, a commerce portal, a song, an online photo album, or an entire library--there are no limits to the amount of data associated with one code. Colorzip works real-time, so it's ideal for interactive content, audience participation, and user tracking. There's no need for mobile phone users to worry about compatibility; Colorzip works on low-resolution (100,000 pixels) camera phones and in both Java and Brew environments. And the size, shape, and even color of the code itself can be changed so that there are trillions of possible combinations.
