I blogged about the iPhone location log in another place, but here's the video I made of some of our recent US travels, as seen by my phone.

It's been a few days since the news about iPhones (and other smartphones) storing device locations came out again. This time, however, it hit the mainstream press, rather than staying in the more refined heights of the computer forensics world - and simple tools for exploring the data followed quickly.

Here's a YouTube movie of some of my data, from a recent trip to the US attending a bunch of technology conferences. What's interesting is that even though I turn off my data connection while I'm abroad thanks to egregious roaming charges, my location's still being recorded.

Quite surprising, really...
