Already in it's third year of publication, LBSzone reaches a core audience of
wireless developers, geospatial programmers and technologists, map mashup

and GPS), and technology professionals interested in mobile positioning and
location-aware applications and services. Hot topics covered include the latest

daily snapshot of news and announcements affecting topics that touch on wireless
technologies, location-services, and mobile geospatial technologies. Each weekly
edition provides a snapshot of the latest news headlines, career postings,
featured content, published online via one of our technology web portals.
According to Letham, "my goal with LBSzone Alert is to provide the mobile
professional (or enthusiast) with at least one useful and timely piece of
information that is useful in his/her daily duties - perhaps we'll help to
inspire the next killer app! In my mind LBSzone Alert is a must have for anyone
that wants to maintain a competitive advantage in our industry." Letham has been
covering mobile technologies and LBS for almost ten years now... long before
location was cool! In addition to founding LBSzone.com, Letham is also the
founder and Managing Editor of popular wireless developer resource
SymbianOne.com. and leading GIS technology resource GISuser.com. He's acted as a
judge on leading mobile developer contests including the Forum Nokia Pro Awards
and Handango Champion Awards. Additionally, he attended and covered off mobile
technologies at countless wireless industry tradeshows, panel discussions, user
forums, and developer events around the Globe.
LBSzone.com strives to be the place where innovations in mobile
positioning and related technology\ies are first discussed, reported, and
promoted. This will make our communities much more than simple news and resource
sites - they will become integral forces contributing to the evolution of LBS,
geospatial concepts and enabling technologies.
LBSzone is further
supported and complemented by the Spatial Media online web resources at
GISuser.com (for GIS and mapping professionals), SymbianOne.com (wireless
