Initially
mobile phones were developed only for voice communication but now days the
scenario has changed, voice communication is just one aspect of a mobile phone.
There are other aspects which are major focus of interest. Two such major
factors are web browser and GPS services. Both of these functionalities are
already implemented but are only in the hands of manufacturers not in the hands
of users because of proprietary issues, the system does not allow the user to
access the mobile hardware directly. But now, after the release of android
based open source mobile phone a user can access the hardware directly and
design customized native applications to develop Web and GPS enabled services
and can program the other hardware components like camera etc. In this paper we
will discuss the facilities available in android platform for implementing LBS
services (geo-services).
