Edit: commercial link removed.
Okay I have been seeing this sort of thing for a while now and I still wonder. Is this a real person paid to write some relatively related comment while spaming or is it some sophisticated bot?

I'm sorry that your 2nd post has run afoul of our anti-spamming rules. As you can see, I have edited the commercial link out of your post. Please do not include commercial links either in your posts or your sig. block.
Thanks.
katto,
Good catch. Thanks.
In the future, please report spam, don't quote it. I had to edit your post too in order to kill the link completely -- 2ce the work.
Hi,
I've done some research on privacy issues on Android and shared the results on my blog - http://bigbrothermobile.com/blog/
There's one post which details the information sent to Google when using Maps - http://bigbrothermobile.com/blog/?p=83
As you can see, the problem is that IDENTIFIED location data is sent to Google (your location associated with your gmail account) - which is something not necessary to run the services but could be used by Google for other (evil ?) purposes...
