Featured Presenter: Mathew Bower – Mobile applications have reached into our lives like no other computing platform. This is an exciting time for new applications that can delivery new marketing channels, location specific services, and other functionality that seemed like science fiction a few years ago. But it also has serious implications for personal privacy and opens us to intrusions on our personal life that we may not realize. Due to these issues, congress is starting to take notice. Mathew is an attorney for Safford & Baker, LLC (law firm that specializes in start-ups) will explain why this is such an important topic for you to be aware of as you venture further into this new frontier.

Presentation Description:
Your iPhone and Android are tracking you…and congress has taken notice.
On Thursday, June 24, 2010, amidst the high-profile launch of the iPhone 4, Reps. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) and Joe Barton (R-Texas) sent a letter to Apple CEO Steve Jobs. In that letter, they expressed concerns about recent changes to Apple’s privacy policy allowing Apple to gathering location information about its customers. Specifically, the congressmen inquired whether or not the “boilerplate” in a privacy policy was sufficient for purposes of Section 222 of the Communications Act, which mandates that no consumer location information be shared without the explicit prior consent of the consumer.
What is the current state of the law concerning location-based services and consumer privacy and protection? What must developers do to comply with Section 222 for their location-based service? What does it mean for a consumer to opt-in to a location-based service?

In addition: Keith Bourne will give a quick overview of the latest Appcelerator Mobile survey, outlining their market analysis about the direction the mobile field is going. Good information for all in the mobile field to know. See the presentation and report link here:
