iPhone 4 will have a sticker warning about location logging

Here, the problem of logging locations is unimportant for users, but in the US it is a very good reason to sue Apple or a mobile phone operator that sells the iPhone. To be protect of possible lawsuits or scandals, Verizon will stick the sticker in the image on all iPhone 4 CDMA terminals (and not only) that it will sell. On this sticker you will find information that warns users that their terminal logs the locations they travel through and that these logs can be given to other companies.

This device is capable of determining its (and your) physical, geographical, location and can associate location data with other customer information. To limit access to location information by others, refer to the User Guide for Location settings and be cautious when downloading, accessing, or using applications and services.

The image is part of a letter sent by Verizon company representatives to the US Congress in an effort to avoid calling the company to answer before a senatorial committee. Verizon will stick this sticker on all the phones sold and probably AT&T will take a similar measure considering that it sells the same iPhone terminals with the same problems. TomTom a announced today that he provided the police with information about the locations where users exceeded the speed limit and from what I can see the companies are trying to cover their backs due to the extent of the location logging scandal.
