Android is 100% opt-in, you can disable it, it doesnt hold nearly the amount of information (in quantity or accuracy), and it cannot be identified to a specific device. Not to mention, once you disable location services (in your menus) it del's the files that contain the location information...

Its a double edged sword. If you want location based search information it has to know where you are...

They're welcome to sift through all my data whenever they please.
"Sir, it appears Mr. Shilala was on the couch."
"Hmm, what do you think he's doing on that couch so much?"
"Sir, I'd rather not think about it, if it's all the same to you."

When is someone going to write an app that strips this out of the phone? I don't care about location service content. My ZIP is all they need.

Personally owell your not going to quit using the phones, and i think they have been able to do this since there were gps chips and sim cards in the darn things.... Especially the ones that have been able to get on the internet....

I would be in favor of this if they released the tracking software to parents of teenagers

Verizon offers GPS tracking of your children's phones. They charge you an extra $5/line you want to monitor.
