Google Earth for iphone
Google releases a version of Google Earth for the iPhone as well as for ipod Touch,which allows users for zooming in and out of a virtual globe.Though Google Earth was available for the desktop for nearly 3 years,the iphone deployment is its first mobile version.
The other familiar comparative product for iphones is Google Maps for Mobile (GMM),which emphasises more on localised street mapping and less on a visual reproduction of the earth’s topography.In a blog post by Peter Birch, product manager for Google Earth, the iPhone’s touch interface allows a user to “swipe [their]finger across the screen and fly to the other side of the globe”, while the in-built accelerometers make it possible to adjust the viewing angle by tilting the phone.
