Cameras that know who you photographed

This is wild. And could be the next cameraphone feature.

News.com reports on several technologies that make digital photography qualitatively different from the film photography of the past.

Autotagging for one - which enables users to sift through pictures by date (but you have to remember who you shot when) and more interesting, face recognition technology, which is software that can "trained" to recognize a set of people, based on the premise that most people take pictures of the same 25 to 30 people.
