Now if there was a feature that would make me go out and buy something, it’s GPS-aware devices. My Wife recently hooked herself up with a Blackberry Storm. A timely purchase as Google this week released Google Latitude. She’s installed latitude for the BB and it’s pretty cool, accurate to within 1900 meters or effectively 1 mile (1.6km for Canada). This is cool and not so cool at the same time. If you use the normal maps inside the phone you get accuracy to 10 feet – it’s too bad Latitude doesn’t go down to that level quite yet.
I installed it on my HTC but of course my phone doesnt have GPS built-in. I have to manually set my co-ordinates! Anyways, I was suprised to see a number of my contacts already enabled Latitude. Now I’ll get sick (in fact already am) of manually setting my location in Latitude.
