Google’s latitude app has officially hit the iTunes store today. Last week it got a bit of a jump start and was pulled the same day, now, it’s up and Google’s very own Blog has announced it. Latitude is a bit of a tracker app for you and your friends, you can easily keep tabs on where they are (with their permission of course) and make it easy to get in touch with them face to face. Latitude in a sense allows us to be more social in a face-to-face way, rather than by simple tweets and texts.

With Latitude, you can:
* See your friends on a map – find out who’s nearby and meet up.
* Share your location continuously with whomever you choose – help friends and family stay in touch with you, even when you can’t take out your phone.
* Control your privacy – share only city-level location, hide your location, or turn off background updating at any time.

Dell Latitude E6410 ATG Rugged Notebook

Dell continues to be one of the biggest computer companies on the planet, so you know that they have to trudge ahead with new units from time to time. Continuing with this, Dell has expanded its Latitude line with at least three new E-series notebooks.

Well, that’s not completely true. They’re not completely new, per se. Instead, the Dell Latitude E-Family got “refreshed” with some “enterprise-class control, design, and collaboration for mobile computing needs.”

On the mainstream front, you can expect to find the “dependable and stylish” Dell Latitude E6410 ($1,129+) and E64510 ($1,164+). The former gets a 14.1-inch screen, whereas the latter bumps that up to 15.6-inches. They both get 3-megapixel cameras, optional discrete graphics from NVIDIA, Fast Response Free Fall Sensor, and the optional Dell Latitude ON instant-boot environment.

If you need something a little tougher, you can take the “semi-rugged” route with the Dell Latitude E6410 ATG. It also has a 14.1-inch screen like its non-ATG compatriot, but this version meets military standards for shock, vibration, temperature, humidity, and altitude.

All three laptops get secure fingerprint authentication, contactless card readers, one-time-password token capabilities, and intelligement management solutions.
