Google Earth Icon
We’ve all been waiting for months for an app like this one, and now it’s here. I’m talking about Google Earth.
This app uses the same graphic of the computers and the multi-touch technologies and the accelerometer of Apple’s iPhone and iPod Touch.

You can zoom by pinching in and out and you can look around (like in the EarthScape app) in a similar method of Street View in the new Google Phone (HTC G1): tilting the phone will change the perspective. Loading the map is pretty fast with the Wi-Fi.
In this mobile version of Google Earth you can read Wikipedia articles related to a precise location or watch images from Panoramio. The ground is in 3D.
Another nice feature is that you can use this app also when you’re offline, using the images you loaded up the last times you were connected.
There will be soon an update for this app because some people reported crashes when trying to search for a location.
