Google Earth for iPhone gets an update to 2.0
When Google brought its amazing global map application, Google Earth, to the iPhone, it was a match made in heaven. (Okay, it was match made on Earth, but bear with with me, here.) The pinching and rotating gestures on the iPhone made exploring the globe on a handheld device fun and easy. Well, now Google Earth is back with version 2.0, which introduces some of the useful features you've come to expect from Earth's sister project, Google Maps. You can grab it from the app store now.Although it's nothing earth-shattering (ha!), Google Earth can now access your saved maps - and other people's public maps - by logging into your Google account and using the My Maps interface. Bringing Maps and Earth even closer together, Google has also made it easier to search businesses, photos and places in Earth, just like you can in Maps. Also, in a move that seems fitting for an app that maps the entire world, Earth 2.0 supports 31 languages, up from the original 18.

'Although it's nothing earth-shattering (ha!)'
You've been waiting forever to use that.

You heard it here first folks: Google has lost the sense to synergize its products.
There's so many combinations of Docs, Earth, Maps, Android and Wave that should be at some www.google.com/labs2.0/ URL but are not. Time for a fresh Google.

It's a miracle that Google spends time on an iPhone app at all me thinks.
