Nowadays mobile technology is part of daily life and behavior and the mobile ecosystems are emerging, with smart phones and tablets being the foremost growth drivers. The mobile phones are no longer just another device, we rely on their competence in work and in private. We look to our mobile phones for timely and restructured information and we rely on this being provided any time of any day at any place. Nevertheless, no matter how much you depend and adore your mobile phone the quality of the information and the user experience is directly associated with the foundations and presentation of information. In this location, our activities, interactions and preferences help shape the quality of service, content and products we use. Location-aware systems use such information about end-users as input mechanisms for producing applications based on mobile, location, social, cloud and customized content services. This represents new possibilities for haul outing aggregated user-need information and includes novel sources for situation-aware applications. Accordingly, a Design Research based approach has been taken to further investigate the creation, presentation and tailoring of user-centric information. Through user evaluated experiments findings show how multi-dimensional location-aware information can be used to create adaptive solutions shaping the user experience to the users' needs. Research findings in this work; highlight possible architectures for integration of cloud computing services in diverse mobile environment in future location-aware solutions.
