Has anyone seen this?
is a new location service from google.
http://www.google.com/latitude/intro.html

There are other location services around, but i've not seen any support in n8x0.
Is there any support? any ideas?

I hope so!!!, this is a great thing.
Bye!!

Text, phone or IM your friends. Ask them where they are. If they don't tell you, they probably don't want you to know.

It seems to be exactly the same as Nokia Friend View:

There was a thread about Friend View here and why it (or something like it) wasn't released for the tablets.

I've always liked the idea of such services.

Interesting service, I just tried it out with a few friends. It's certainly a signal towards something we will be seeing a lot more in the future. I'm personally very much amused that about 50% of all phone calls tend to start with "Hey, where are you?" There's something there indeed.

...

But the real question is:

What does this mean for Microsoft or Nokia Or Linux?

Well Jabber (e.g. the default IM client on the devices) supports location reporting, and something like GeoClue (or the upcoming Nokia replacement) could provide the location information. I hope this feature is included out-of-the-box in Fremantle.
