Google just introduced a new service, Latitude. I will not go in the details of explaining what it does, simply because the official web page is detailed enough, and has a nice/fancy video.

What is relevant for me is the list of phone with which it will work:

Will it work with my phone? Google Latitude is a feature of Google Maps for mobile on these phones:

Android-powered devices, such as the T-Mobile G1 (coming soon)

iPhone and iPod touch devices (coming soon)

most color BlackBerry devices

most Windows Mobile 5.0+ devices

most Symbian S60 devices (Nokia smartphones)

many Java-enabled (J2ME) mobile phones, such as Sony Ericsson devices (coming soon) This service is free from Google; carrier charges may apply.

About the news itself, I invite you to spend 2 minutes to read directly from the words of Eric Chu on the official blog.

Said that, what is not defined yet (just the screenshot you see here) is Security. Better, what exactly they have in mind? Just put on the Market WHATEVER the developer will come with and leave to the final user the burden of reading, understanding and accepting/rejecting the application. Based on just some words written on a little screen? Words that sounds like C3PO?
