July 23, 2009 1:04 PM Google’s location-based Latitude service is coming to the iPhone within hours, Google mobile VP Vic Gundotra said at the Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference this morning. Gundotra said the latest iPhone OS update, which enables location-based services in the browser, paved the way for Latitude. http://brainstormtech.blogs.fortune...latitude-for-iphone-today/?source=yahoo_quote

That's interesting... according to the Google link above, you can manually enter a location instead of using the GPS. This means that you can effectively report false locations. So, instead of "disappearing from the radar" on Saturday night from 9pm to 11:59pm, you can just report a false location. Does it tell your friends though whether you entered manually or whether it is GPS?
Haha. I understand what you are saying, but that's not possible. Either you have the GPS turned on in Latitude, or else you have to set to enter manual locations. I'm just wondering if it displays whether the entry was GPS or manual.
haha, it's just one of those things though - it's easy to lose track of technology and what it is / isn't doing. Like emailing in to your boss that you didn't submit the report because the internet isn't working....
