WIRELESS

Google unleashed Google Latitude software today that allows users of wireless devices to be tracked on a Google map under a location-based system that will operate in 27 countries. The company promises that it built “fine-grained privacy controls” into the system that gives users total control over who gets to see their location — as well as the location where they are tracked.

I love how Google always makes it seem like they were the first to come up with products like this one…  It aint a party unless Google’s there.

Yesterday Samsung unveiled the Mobile Applications Marketplace, a storefront purposed with peddling Samsung-friendly Windows Mobile and S60 applications to consumers while making developers some more cash than they otherwise might. It’s an admirable idea at face value – but is it the beginning of a terrible trend? (http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2009/02/04/not-every-company-needs-an-app-store 2/4)
