The bar chart below shows the results for the developer survey “Are you using “Location” in your app?”, as of June 25th, 2006. A total of 90 developers have responded. As with past polls, this poll will remain open to continue capturing developer feedback…
Some observations….
The distribution between “using location” (30%) and “no need to use” (38%) is very close… If "API Restrictions" weren't an issue, we could say location in mobile applications is very close to 50/50. Next, and of no surprise is the effect of “API restrictions” (21%) on developers wanting to use location in their applications. And of surprise is how low “privacy concerns” are – but developers should think as end-users, and privacy should be a bigger concern.
Below is the map of developers around the world who participated in the survey. Thanks to everyone who participated…
