[From Merv] Google Earth for the iPhone is now available and thanks to Merv for the head sup on this one. It looks pretty cracking. I am going to have to give this a try out later when I get some free time. Here is how
Cnet is describing it. "Google already has customized some of its Web sites for display on the iPhone, but now the company also dived headlong onto Apple's highly regarded mobile phone with a full-fledge application, a handheld version of its Google Earth geographical software.
Google Earth lets people virtually fly around a 3D view of the world made from satellite and aerial imagery mapped onto the planet's mountains and valleys. The iPhone version reproduces this core experience, downloading imagery from Google's servers as the perspective shifts and dotting the map with landmarks, photos, and other information."
