“Google Latitude Comes To The iPhone.”
After we developed a Latitude application for the iPhone, Apple requested we release Latitude as a web application in order to avoid confusion with Maps on the iPhone, which uses Google to serve maps tiles.
Oh God, you’re kidding? Well, goes to show that being Apple’s biggest partner doesn’t buy you a reasonable review process from the App Store people. (What puzzles me is that Google ended up presenting the Latitude web app at an Apple keynote anyway. I guess profit trumps retaliation.)
As for Latitude itself, I’m disappointed by the interface. Other than the new Javascript Maps, which I already knew to be awesome (because I use it), the navigation is awkward and gets in its own way.

We don't need newsletters, and we don't need Twitter; RSS still exists.
