If you just bought a T-Mobile G1, you may be disappointed to find out that Google Latitude is not included out of the box. You must wait for an OTA (over the air) update to be able to use the service. You can also cheat a little and download the update and install it yourself. [...]

I recently got a tip that Smartsheet Beta has some new features and has a real bargain for people who are using the new version of their service.
