Google Latitude

I've been wondering when Google was going to jump on the location-based service bandwagon after seeing apps like Brightkite and Loopt started getting popular when the iPhone came out.

As of now, the following devices are supported:
- Android-powered devices with Maps v3.0 and above. G1 users in the US will be receiving Maps v3.0 in a system update soon.
- Most color BlackBerry devices
- Most Windows Mobile 5.0 and above devices. Note: Some Windows Mobile devices don't support cell-ID location detection.
- Most Symbian S60 devices

No iPhone yet?? I guess I'll have to stay with the web interface (which is a bit clunky within the iGoogle framework IMO). At the very least I'd expect some automatic location detection via IP geocoding...
