iPhone and iPad Get Military Upgrade

If you've ever wanted geotagging or any kind of military style lens for your iPhone or iPad, you may be getting it soon.

A new hardware system aims to combine the best of consumer smartphones and tablets with military-grade optical systems.  In short, the Special Operations Apps / System for Optical Attachments or [SOA]2 is a set of adapters and apps that allows soldiers and such to connect infrared, night vision or long-range cameras to the iPhone 4S or the new iPad.
Once the lens is connected, the phone or iPad acts as an external display, with the ability to record video and mark the location on where the video was shot.  Future versions could possibly include facial recognition and/or tracking.
