Playnice: make your iPhone Auto-Update Google Latitude via MobileMe

Apple dissatisfied Google's exertion to release Latitude which allows your control-freak friends to know where you are at all times-as an iPhone request. You can only update it yourself using a web page, which makes it not-so-useful. Until now.

Developer Nat Friedman thoughts the same as you did (somewhat along the lines of "f*cking stupid Apple morons"), and I spent this weekend writing a script called playnice. From the MobileMe the script will get the iPhone's location information, and then sends it to Google's Latitude. Obviously, you need a MobileMe user for this to work, making it less useful for the rest of the mortals who are not ready to pay more dollars to Steve and his minions.
