To chime in with the soonish use I'd like to make of it, if nobody  
else jumps on this rather obvious iPhone app before I get annoyed I  
don't have it, I'll be writing a location-savvy microblogging client.  
And it would be nifty to be able to add some highlights/speech  
balloons/LOLCAT style annotations to a picture you take before  
uploading it!

That said, I agree with Messr. Lawson that at first glance losing  
NSEverything from DrawKit and porting it to a UIKit/CoreGraphics  
implementation is a decidedly non-trivial effort.
