Apparently New York City (http://gizmodo.com/tag/newyorkcity/) has over 90,000 vintage photos (http://gizmodo.com/tag/vintagephotos/) on 35-millimeter film which they would love to sell. And Google might just help them with that.
Under a proposed deal, Google would digitize those pictures of "Manhattan buildings that were originally shot for tax purposes," and show them off in Google Maps (http://gizmodo.com/tag/googlemaps/). Seems neat, but it would be even neater if Google Maps were somehow integrated into the Phantom City iPhone app (http://gizmodo.com/5375860/explore-the-new-york-city-which-couldve-been-with-the-phantom-city-iphone-app), because then there'd be even cooler iPhone-powered trips through history ahead.
