Today, Apple announced that the collection and storage of location data was due to a programming error.

“We don’t think the iPhone needs to store more than seven days of this data,” the company said in a press release. In next few weeks, it added, Apple will release a new version of its software that keeps only a limited amount of location data, does not write the information to a computer and deletes the information as soon Location Services are turned off.

Apple has been facing controversy after researchers discovered last week that iPhones running the latest version of its operating system kept a detailed log of a user’s location based on cell tower and WiFi hotspot data. In some cases, the log went back more than a year.

Steve Jobs spoke to All Things D’s Mobilized today and said Apple wasn’t “tracking anyone.”

“The files they found on these phones, as we explained, it turned out were basically files we have built through anonymous, crowdsourced information that we collect from the tens of millions of iPhones out there,” Jobs told Mobilized.

Jobs added that tech companies haven’t done a good job of educating its users.

“As new technology comes into the society there is a period of adjustment and education,” Jobs said. “We haven’t – as an industry – done a very good job educating people, I think, as to some of the more subtle things going on here. As such, (people) jumped to a lot of wrong conclusions in the last week.”

Jobs said that Apple would testify at the May 10 hearing of the Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology and the Law. The hearing is titled, “Protecting Mobile Privacy: Your Smartphones, Tablets, Cell Phones and Your Privacy.”

Do seconds really count? In the smartphone business they do, according to Blaze Software, Inc., based in Ottawa.

Blaze’s test results showed that Apple’s iPhone worked slower loading websites 84 percent of the time than phones using Google Inc.’s Android operating system.

The iPhone 4 went against Google’s Samsung Nexus S smartphone over the same WiFi connection, so any differences in mobile-carrier speeds didn’t affect the outcome, Blaze said in releasing the research. The Android phone operated 52 percent faster on average after more than 45,000 page loads from 1,000 websites, they said.

The Asbury Park Press reports web pages took an average of 2.14 seconds to load on Android compared with 3.25 seconds on iPhone, according to Blaze. When loading lighter websites – those with fewer features to be downloaded – the difference between the two systems was less noticeable, according to the report.

Android became the world’s best-selling smartphone operating system in the fourth quarter, outselling the iPhone two-to-one, according to Canalys, a research company based in the U.K.

According to businessweek.com, some analysts sided with Apple in disputing the study’s results because Blaze accessed websites through its speed- measurement software. That software may have negated some of the improvements that Apple has made to its Safari browser, said Michael Gartenberg, an analyst at Stamford, Connecticut-based research firm Gartner Inc.

Blaze said it has no evidence that the optimizations Apple is excluding from its embedded browser make a big impact to Web speeds.

Google has a team devoted to making its browser and websites faster, employing tools such as downloading things in parallel and accessing page elements before they are needed, said Guy Podjarny, the chief technology officer of Blaze.

Apple has concentrated its resources on design, while “retrofitting” speed into a product line developed before download times were a priority, he said.

Xconomy.com reports the Samsung and Apple devices all have similar amounts of processing power and memory, so the differences Blaze detected are likely rooted in software design issues in the browsers themselves. Google has said it designed the desktop version of its Chrome browser in part because it felt that older browsers deal with JavaScript and other rich Web content inefficiently, and the improvements it made supposedly carried over to the Android browser— which is why it’s not entirely surprising that Android came out ahead in Blaze’s tests.

Blaze provides a free service called “Mobitest” that allows website owners to test the performance of their sites on actual phones in Blaze’s labs. Once it had built the Mobitest facility, the company realized that it could also be used to compare smartphone browsers, Podjarny says.

Two days before the release of the iPad 2, Apple unveiled its next-generation mobile operating system, iOS 4.3

“The world’s most advanced mobile operating system keeps getting better. Download the free iOS 4.3 Software Update and get new features that let you do even more with your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. The software update is free. It’s easy. And you can download it right now,” Apple said on its iOS Web site.

At its iPad 2 press event last week, Apple said iOS 4.3 would drop on March 11. Though there were rumors that the OS would launch on Tuesday afternoon, Apple instead released it earlier today. It is supported on all iPads, the third- and fourth-generation iPod touch, and recent iPhones.

At that event, Apple provided a sneak peek at what’s included in iOS 4.3, including enhanced Safari performance, iTunes home sharing, AirPlay improvements, slider switch rotation, and a personal hotspot for the iPhone 4.

The Safari improvements include the Nitro JavaScript engine, meaning iOS will run Java twice as fast, Apple’s Scott Forstall said last week. With iTunes home sharing, meanwhile, users can wirelessly stream content over a home Wi-Fi network from the PC to the iPad.

Apple also added updates to AirPlay. If you’re sharing photos, for example, you can now use slideshow transitions on the iPad to your Apple TV and vice versa. The slider switch on the side of the tablet, meanwhile, can now be used as a rotation lock or a mute button.

With iOS 4.3, a personal hotspot will let people share their iPhone 4 Internet connection with the iPad. The Verizon iPhone already has a hotpost option, and ATT confirmed recently that users can purchase a bundled 4GB data and hotspot iPhone 4 package for $45 per month.

At the iPad launch, Apple chief Steve Jobs also said that iMovie for iPad and GarageBand for iPad will be available in the App Store on March 11 for $4.99 each.
