Japanese company Tonchidot makers of iPhone Applications have come out with a Social Tagging Device that tags a point in the real world using any or all of the media resources.
The good folks at Tonchidot can put it in to better words than me so i’ve relied on them for the overview “What is “Sekai camera”? This means a world camera. You can download information straight from the internet on your iPhone. We use iPhone applications for this service. When you reach the area you only see through the area of the view on your iPhone. Then you will meet much information by your iPhone. You do not need search yourself the information will come to you very natural way. ” – Tonchidot
The demo looks pretty cool and i’m keen to give it a try when it’s available. Still not really all that sure how it works but seeing as it’s developed and tested in Japan if it’s going to work anywhere then Japan will be the place.
Seen earlier today on Techcrunch
Doing a bit more research on Tonchidot it seems like this is their first forey in to the world of making apps for iPhones, will be interesting to see how it goes for them, getting great exposure from Techcrunch that has 600K subscribers will be a push in the right direction.

“…your Friends can receive the message when they come to the place you’re at…” If I understood that correctly, it’s also the fist geotagged voicemail/messaging system I’ve ever seen. Very cool.
It looks pretty interesting i’ll give it that.
I’m still waiting for ipod’s to adopt wireless transfer between pods
The iphone is definitely on my list of “need”.
The iPhone has been the best technology purchase i’ve made Chris, i really missed having a phone i could do beneficial things with … Japanese phones can no doubt do lots of things but the language also posed a big problem. I can’t say enough about how good it is owning an iPhone … you will love it.
