This one took a bad start : It took 20 minutes before the first speaker finished to get past the blabla explaining what his company is doing.

The second part about 'location technologies' was a quite interesting.  Some stuff to remember:

• If you want to get a location inside a building, GPS doesn't cut it. You can use info from the mobile phone network to get a location based on the network cells.
• JSR-179 : can be implemented for both mechanisms
• Microsoft has a slightly deviating mechanism in Windows Mobile
• OMA: location deterministic services standars
• OGC provides API's to use GIS geospatial web services (over XML/HTTP) - map rendering, geocoding, routing, POI searching for usage by developers
• AutoDesk has an open platform that implements these api's
• JRS-293: not finished yet, will provide a standard API
