Google recently released Google Latitude for iPhone and iPod touch as a web application and currently supports iPhone/iPod Touch OS 3.0 or above. For the time being, it’s only available in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
Our Latitude web app provides all the core functionality you might expect: you can see the location of your friends on a map and modify your privacy settings so that you control how your location is shared and with whom. In fact, if my friends and colleagues back in London haven’t yet noticed my absence, they’ll see in Latitude that I’m currently vacationing on the beach in Australia. Hi guys, remember me!?
You’ll also find basic Search and Directions functionality to help you get around the world. And just like our Google Maps for mobile client apps (and more recently on desktop Google Maps), you can press the “blue dot” to be taken to your approximate current location on the map with My Location, thanks to Safari now supporting the W3C Geolocation API.

Latitude also works in the Netherlands now.
Where do you download it? Not listed in iTunes!
Went to my Google, found latitude, clicked and was requested to enter my name and password, but safari only responded with, “NOT FOUND
The requested URL was not found on this server” Does this mean that Google does not support in the US as advertised?
