I can't say I disagree with Nick though, especially after I've discussed the problem with local user interaction experts. When I start the camera app on my iphone, I get the pop up asking if the app can use my location. That's annoying, because I usually want to take a picture quickly. Now if the camera app wanted to explain why it wanted my position, you'd have another pop-up beforehand saying "I would like to use your position in order to tag your picture, so please click yes on the next prompt". 2 modal dialogues before I can actually snap. Not nice. So at this point the best I can think of is 1 dialogs containing something like: "This app wants to use your location. It says:" (familiar yellow bar style) "Click yes if you'd like your pictures tagged with lat/lon" (some other style showing that text is not from the browser). Not great. Maybe there's a solution that mitigates better user experience and privacy. Max.
