...gettin' to be a pretty crowded field. and with yahoo! all over it (see bottom).
zonetag (linked) appears to be meant to work ala shozu (e.g. quick click upload to flickr) but with the additional (optional) feature of tagging your image with the cell ID of the tower you were nearest when you uploaded the image (independent of when/where you actually took the picture). interesting concept - another "sort" option (e.g. location) if nothing else.
i couldn't get it to work on my device, but that could be because the app's a beta, the phone's a proto, or, perhaps, there's some interference going on with one or all of the other three similar apps (shozu, vizrea, yahoo!go) that are loaded and running on the device. notably the others seem to still be functional.
as for the yahoo! comment, well, recall that yahoo! recently launched yahoo!go for mobile which includes y! photo synching with yahoo! photos proper. beyond that, yahoo! also owns flickr (which for some reason continues to operate separately from yahoo! photos). and, now along comes zonetag - a yahoo! "research prototype release" - which is meant to marry up to flickr. don't know if they'll penetrate the embedded shozu crowd (such that may exist), but if this thing launches mainstream without bugs, they may capture the lion's share of new users of such apps, at least from the pool of those with a strong yahoo! affinity.

Hey Bill - thanks for the post. ZoneTag will give you a lot more than just Cell ID - a zipcode and city when available, and if not, you get to update the database so ZT learns it for next time.
And I think your problem may be that you're using the N70. We don't support it yet. Maybe we will, very soon.
Plus, more exciting things to come... stay tuned.
cool. not sure though why support for n70 would be different from support for other series 60 devices - hasn't been the case with some other solutions graduating from, for instance, 6682 to n70...
