Google Earth for iPhone

Google has released an optimized version of Google Earth for the iPhone. The search provider provides the mobile version of Google Earth on Apple's App Store for free in 20 countries ready for download. The software supports all 18 languages, which also dominates the iPhone. On the iPhone, Google Earth, functions almost the entire desktop version. In addition, the software of Apple's Smartphone uses motion sensors to change views in Google Earth according to the inclination of the iPhone. Using the built-in GPS function of mobile phones Google Earth shows the current position of the user. Google Earth is the multi-touch user interface makes use of the iPhone. Thus, the image is out with a finger and pushed in, while provides the use of two fingers for a reduction or enlargement of the view.


If and when Google Earth for the mobile operating system Android will be adjusted, said Google does not cooperate. "We are big fans of the iPhone. It is a fantastic platform to demonstrate our technology," said Peter Birch, product manager for Google Earth. "We are also excited about Android operating system."

With Google Earth you get the most popular 3D interactive atlas on the iPhone. The freeware shows the Earth in three dimensions using high resolution satellite images on the display. The navigation on the iPhone Atlas is typical of finger movements on the display. Alternatively, you can reach from a direct search for a place. A finger double click zooms into the aerial photographs. If you move two fingers apart zooms it out again. The iPhone version also uses the motion of the mobile phone: With a simple turn of the iPhone we change the viewer’s perspective. Google Earth will react in the iPhone version amazingly fast and brings a very good resolution. The shift in perspective sometimes wobbles a bit, but quickly rises sharply. The functionality of the mobile version does not come up to the PC version, but the result on the iPhone is still remarkable.

Although the appearance of lines and are clearly traceable to mark the double B, shapes and designs have been renovated and new models also feature Curve 8900 and left after the 9500 Storm Bold. In terms of specifications the Bold is very good, including all the connectivity most common protocols including support for UMTS / HSDPA and WLAN networks, a processor handsome, a good amount of system memory, large screen high resolution and a GPS antenna. Stoned apparently on the list of features in this device, the camera "only" 2 megapixels and the lack of an extended integrated mass memory for storing media files, however, aspects that are well justified by the target which strictly professional The BlackBerry Bold is designed.


The BlackBerry Bold, as the next Curve 8900, is characterized by an assemblage of excellent quality made with only plastics. Screen slightly wider and more capacious battery also makes the Bold heavier than his younger brother about 20 grams. This difference in weight, however, does not affect handling and comfort of the device, which is perfectly proportioned for both male and female hands.

The presence of a material similar to the rough skin on the back of the smartphone also provides the friction necessary for the device does not escape the hand does not slip accidentally or slightly inclined surfaces.
