I am going to be speaking at the mashup* – Being-Location-Aware Event in London on the 19th March, an event which I hope will really capture the current excitement around using location in both mobile and desktop applications.
After many false starts, your location is finally easily available to application developers allowing them to create a range of applications which use where you are, as a key element of context providing more relevant information and services to the user.
There are of course still many areas to be explored, around business models, technology platforms and privacy, and this event I’m sure will provide a great forum to continue the debate.
