My name is Cédric Bozzi, I make apps and websites, and this is my tech blog — you’ll find news commentary here, from a very opinionated Mac-head.
Il y a une version française ici, but most of this blog’s contents are extracted from my Twitter feed, and hence only available in one language (which varies randomly).
The reason Google has been waiting for the 3.0 software is because it’s not actually creating a native iPhone app for Latitude — as all other location-based services on the iPhone are — instead it’s using the Safari web browser to run Latitude. Thanks to HTML 5, Safari will be able to access a user’s location information.
So, as soon as OS 3.0 is out, I can have geolocation on Web is Pink without a dedicated app. That’s good, since they don’t seem likely to ever approve the app, but it doesn’t exactly give the same exposure.
Have to look into it, though, if only for Android phones.
