14th MobileMonday Taipei - Location Based Service

Location-based services are becoming critical in people’s everyday life. There is a trend that more and more people are using GPS-enabled devices to track not just vehicles but also outdoor activities, expeditions or bicycle-races or to map your own position. According to predictions from ABI Research, worldwide shipments of global positioning system (GPS) enabled mobile phones will reach 550 million units in 2012, up from an expected 240 million units in 2008. It is also predicted that the revenue generated by shipments of mobile phones with GPS to total $50 billion dollars this year and then double to $100 billion by the end 2012. With the huge supported devices and customer needs, who can grasp the opportunity?

For the 14th MobileMonday Taipei, we invite three location-based services providers: jMap.cc , Cogini and GPSStar. The speakers will show the audience how LBS relevant to our daily life, what kind of innovation they will bring to users, and what’s the value LBS provide.
