    Well Yahoo! has come up with a stunner – a cluster of highly impressive GPS-enabled bicycles (sounds strange, isn’t it?). Not only that these bicycles come equipped with cameraphones that will automatically shoot between suitable time-intervals and upload the photos taken to Flickr to riders in cities across the world.

    To everyone’s astonishment these bicycles are already in use in San Francisco and New York and expected to be seen pretty soon in Singapore, Denmark and UK as well. I am sure everyone wants an answer as to from what provides power to camera? Well its solar panels, while on the other hand it is special software that uses the phone's accelerometer to capture photos every minute automatically when the bike is in motion.

    Actually there is a Nokia N95 cameraphone with a custom Python script inside which fires off the shutter. What’s more you can also download Yahoo's ZoneTag software onto your Symbian S60-powered handset, affixing the phone to your choice of vehicle indeed!
