Google Earth for iPhone is Fun
With Google Earth for the iPhone you can tilt your phone to change the tilt on the view. This is a lot of fun. You can’t rotate around by rotating the phone, though, like we’ve seen with street view on Android (and the upcoming 2.2 firmware of the iPhone). There are some problems with this, though. It means to view imagery from above, you have to have the iPhone relatively flat. The redraw time is also a little slow when tilting it about.
Google Earth makes great use of pinch and two-finger rotates. They seem to work even better when tilted than a rotate or zoom does in the desktop version.
