I used to have a similar type of home grown scipts.

It would take a picture, GPS location and send back to my webserver.
It would then create some custom html to display the info. The picture used to be in the upper left corner. But when I converted to the 770 I had no camera.
I initially made this for a laptop before I purchased my 770. Then I never really did much after making it work on the 770.
So all that said, my point is perhaps this application can be two fold.
1) Yes provide picture GPS and related info when remotely enabled for security purposes.
2) Also build a CGI script for webservers that people can use to display info people could see. Sort of a walk around real time blog app. Have ability to add messages from the tablet. My wife used to use my webpage and I always had dinner ready when I got home. Also the mailman was always gone when I got home
