Google Earth for the iPhone

Google has released Google Earth for the iPhone. The free iPhone software available now from iTunes, displays the same high-resolution imagery as the desktop version for over half the world’s population and a third of the world’s land mass. The software allows you to tilt the device to adjust the view of the mountainous terrain as well as show the Panoramio layer to browse the millions of geo-located photos. Users can also view geo-located Wikipedia articles, locate themselves on the map using the device’s Location services, and search for cities, places, and businesses with Google Local Search. It is available in English, Chinese, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish. It works on the both the iPhone and iPod touch and requires the iPhone 2.0 software. [iTunes Store link]

Google App for the iPhone

I have read some of the reviews on the Google App for the iPhone over at the App store and I don’t think people quite get it.  They are blasting the app stating they can do web searches already from safari.  But the Google App does a whole lot more.  You can search your contacts, your previous searches, websites, and it provides suggestions as you type.

I have found the app to be very useful.  It has not quite found it’s way on to the front page of my iphone yet, but it is secure on the second page for the moment.

So, if you have a lot of contacts or do frequent web searches from your iPhone, then this app may be just the thing to fit the bill.  Browse to the app store and download the Google App, it’s free of charge and helps get all the google goodness to your screen that much faster.
