In addition to Android, we expect Nokia to be a major platform provider and developer of augmented reality systems for mobile devices now that the purchase of NAVTEq is closed. Many of Nokia's hardware devices come with some means of gaining the device's location, plus they include video cameras (the top-selling N95 phone has a 5 megapixel camera). When Nokia is able to merge that data with its phones and other location- aware mobile devices, it will have the pieces necessary for widespread augmented reality applications. GeoPrivacy The good news is that geo in your phone can tell where you are. The bad news is that it can tell other people as well. The U.S. government, for example, can subpoena personal information from service providers--including location history. The issue of electronic privacy came up in the discussions around cell phone records requested by the government from major carriers. More recently, the developer of TXTmob http://txtmob.com, a text- messaging service used by activists to organize rallies and protests, was subpoenaed for the records of all mes- sages sent during a protest of the Republican National Convention in New York City in 2004. The Electronic Frontier Foundation publishes a set of suggested rules for protecting yourself from becoming targets of sub- poenas, both from the government and via individual suits http://www.eff.org/issues/privacy.
