If this story is true, Google are putting off bringing a native Google Maps app to the iPhone, until they’ve integrated the Google Earth 3D stuff in it, to match Apple’s 3D maps.
I just don’t get why the 3D stuff is useful on a map?

Interesting list.
Insights like this are really interesting. Although don’t make you feel happier about your favourite bike that got stolen.
