Google launches Latitude for iPhone…as web app

Google has announced an iPhone compatible version of their Latitude mobile app. Latitude provides the same functionality as the Google-owned Dodgeball (now defunct), but also allows users to track their friends on Google’s Gmail contact list via Google Maps. Curiously, Latitude has been released as a web app for the iPhone, as the iPhone OS 3.0 enables Mobile Safari to determine the location of your device.
