Google Earth Now Available in the Google App Market

Google Nexus One owners today can download the first version of Google Earth for the Android platform. While a version of the app has been available on the Apple iPhone OS for some time, Google's own Earth-sized mapping app has finally come to Google's own OS. Most of the same features are available on the Android version, including layers for points-of-interest and terrain mapping, as well as a Panoramio layer to view user-submitted pictures of various spots around the globe. Unlike on the iPhone OS version, Google Earth users on Android OS 2.1 will not be able to sign into their Google profiles to load their own maps from Google's My Maps service. The Android version also currently lacks the accelerometer support found on the iPhone. The Google Earth app, which appears simply labeled "Earth" in Android, is available for free from the Android Market.

Android vs. Iphone-for Bluecoyote

Android. There are so many advantages to the Droid software over the Iphone that I feel compelled to post due to the overwhelming Droid/Verizon bashing and Iphone/Apple loving of Bluecoyote.

I can download a song, over the Air, FREE, to my phone and I own it. I can then Bluetooth it to someone, put on my computer, give to anyone. (IMusic app in market).

I can choose and do(with exceptional glee) to root and overclock my droid to run at a solid & stable 1Ghz making it even faster than I can believe. 1.2Ghz if I wish making it faster than the Nexus One. (Sholes & SETcpu in market)

2.1 is coming.

The ONLY thing preventing it working on 2.01 is Googles internal code checking. I have it running on my phone now with 2.01. So the phone is capable, the software is capable, but for whatever reason Google didn't release it for 2.0...
