Like the copy / paste commercial, or the record video commercial? :) Watching that commercial makes it seem like this has never before been possible in the history of phones ever...

I still love my iPhone though!]]>Jul 25th 2009 8:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/google-latitude-finally-makes-it-over-to-iphone-as-separate-web/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/google-latitude-finally-makes-it-over-to-iphone-as-separate-web/Jul 23rd 2009 9:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/google-latitude-finally-makes-it-over-to-iphone-as-separate-web/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/google-latitude-finally-makes-it-over-to-iphone-as-separate-web/Jul 24th 2009 7:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/google-latitude-finally-makes-it-over-to-iphone-as-separate-web/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/google-latitude-finally-makes-it-over-to-iphone-as-separate-web/Why are you denying my invitation?

OSX vs. Javascript AND same look-n-feel as the desktop version of Latitude?

I'm sure google programmers are sick of wasting time developing on OSX when most of their features run on Javascript/Python and a standardds-compliance browser.

That and maybe big companies figured out that selling apps (or for free) on the app store using Apple's approval process, Apple's eco-system for distribution, any cost=30% comission for Apple, and Apple promotes the AppStore vs. webapps... I'm not surprise Goggle went the Safari route--and this is a likely trend for future Google apps.]]>Jul 23rd 2009 9:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/google-latitude-finally-makes-it-over-to-iphone-as-separate-web/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/google-latitude-finally-makes-it-over-to-iphone-as-separate-web/Jul 23rd 2009 9:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/google-latitude-finally-makes-it-over-to-iphone-as-separate-web/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/google-latitude-finally-makes-it-over-to-iphone-as-separate-web/
Translation: "Apple sells a monthly service (MobileMe) to locate your cell phone. Apple doesn't want an app that cuts into their subscription base."]]>Jul 23rd 2009 10:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/google-latitude-finally-makes-it-over-to-iphone-as-separate-web/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/google-latitude-finally-makes-it-over-to-iphone-as-separate-web/

on S60 it's a part of maps and that's the only logical way]]>Jul 24th 2009 5:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/google-latitude-finally-makes-it-over-to-iphone-as-separate-web/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/google-latitude-finally-makes-it-over-to-iphone-as-separate-web/Jul 24th 2009 7:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/google-latitude-finally-makes-it-over-to-iphone-as-separate-web/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/google-latitude-finally-makes-it-over-to-iphone-as-separate-web/Jul 24th 2009 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/google-latitude-finally-makes-it-over-to-iphone-as-separate-web/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/google-latitude-finally-makes-it-over-to-iphone-as-separate-web/
Maps is a default app for, wait for it, maps! So, here's a google, wait for it, map app! Wow, I can see where Apple thought there would be confusion. The Map app has ZERO to do with Mobile Me. Thanks for playing, move along. ]]>Jul 24th 2009 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/google-latitude-finally-makes-it-over-to-iphone-as-separate-web/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/google-latitude-finally-makes-it-over-to-iphone-as-separate-web/
I've been an Apple user for many years now. I do have to point out that there's nothing remotely similar between Maps and Latitude. Latitude has basically the same functionality as Loopt, which was approved before the App Store even launched. Surprise, it has a map, too. Confusing.

Although I also doubt this decision was related to MobileMe specifically, there is no reason to be so hostile with your zealousness. You not only discourage new customers from the brand, but failing to professionally question decisions like this will only limit the usefulness of the platform I, and supposedly you, love. By some counts, it already has.]]>Aug 6th 2009 7:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/google-latitude-finally-makes-it-over-to-iphone-as-separate-web/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/google-latitude-finally-makes-it-over-to-iphone-as-separate-web/]]>Jul 23rd 2009 10:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/google-latitude-finally-makes-it-over-to-iphone-as-separate-web/http://www.engadget.com/2009/07/23/google-latitude-finally-makes-it-over-to-iphone-as-separate-web/
