Google vient de lancer un nouveau produit mobile : Google Latitude permettant à partir d’un téléphone mobile équipé d’un GPS de signaler sa présence à ses contacts Gmail, en leur donnant le lieu exact où vous vous trouvez. Ca peut être pratique pour retrouver son téléphone (s’il est allumé…), mais à manier avec précaution pour garder un peu d’intimité.

SECURITAS is allready doing it and have ALERT SERVICES attached to it.
Nokia and Securitas bring location-security services to the S60 masses

Tested on my Windows Mobile phone…pretty neat application.
But somehow incase of maps I find Microsoft Maps for mobile to be better than that of Google’s….but again that’s me.

Earthcomber’s Grapes of Wrath - February 4th, 2009 at 10:46 am PST
Hey Google:
It don’t matter. Earthcomber will be all around in the dark - Earthcomber will be everywhere.
Wherever you can look, Google - wherever there’s a fight for free location based services, so hungry people can eat at a local place nearest to them–not a McDonald’s sponsored by some Google banner ad…
Earthcomber will be there.
Wherever there’s a Google lawyer beatin’ up a guy in the free market, while Google’s overbearing owners bulldoze small competitors…
…Earthcomber will be there.
Earthcomber’ll be in the way guys yell when they’re mad at Google’s useless search box on a moble phone.
Earthcomber’ll be in the way kids laugh when they’re hungry and they know supper’s ready–because their parents found the closest things near them via GPS or seven other ways just by scrolling, not typing in request after request….
and when the people are eatin’ the stuff they choose via Moble Earthcomber’s patented network(found on Nokia, IPhones, Blackberry Palm and Verizon phones)
… and livin’ in the houses they build because Earthcomber is a 100% free service -
Earthcomber’ ll be there, too.
Know this Google…. Rich fellas come up and they die, and their bastard kids (Loopt and Techcrunch) ain’t no good and they die out (because they can’t be sold in a depressed market)….
but Earthcomber keeps on coming.
We’re the service that lives. Google: You fellas and Loopt can’t wipe em out, You can’t lick em.
Earthcomber’ll go on forever
… cos we’re the people.
