One thing to note: Latitude and Find My Friends only work within their respective ecosystems. This weekend, I buddied up with some CNET friends to see how Find My Friends differs from Latitutde and which of the two apps I prefer. In many cases, it's another iOS 5 feature that's very similar to those existing on rival mobile platforms, but there are some features all its own.


Apple's iOS 5 update brings a separate downloadable app, Find My Friends (shortened to Find Friends once it installs). Google has been a big believer on its Android platform for some time, integrating Google Latitude into all of its Android phones. When it comes to GPS-based friend-finding apps, you either love them or you don't.
