Google Latitude
Last day, we started taking a look at the new Google Latitude web application. It is kind of like gps, allowing friends or other users to know where you are, or where you want them to think you are. Currently the program is not yet very good since Google only has a couple satellites here and there, so that would mean a user could be misplaced a couple blocks away. Its still a good way to see how far your friends are when a meeting point is arranged, where your lost cellphone might be, etc.

iPod Touch - TruPhone, Now make calls using the Touch
TruPhone, in the beginning (way back in 2006) allowed iPhone users to make calls across the internet without having to pay any long distance fees and whatnot. It was something that troubled many cellphone operators and companies. But now, it is something that can be added to the iPod Touch as an application. With the application, anyone can now make calls and SMS, through WiFi through their Touch, as long as you're connected to the internet of course. Another limitation is that to use the new phone capability, you'll need a headset attached to the Touch. Calls made to other TruPhone users and GoogleTalk IM PC users are completely free of charge. Landline calls are charged seperately. With this, it might just be better to stick to the Touch and not get that iPhone everyone's been wanting, since the only difference between the two shortly ago was the phone capability, and now thats shrinking as well. What makes the TruPhone really good, is that it can be downloaded for free by clicking here or visit http://www.truphone.com/
