Google Earth<\/a> is available on Android! (Isn’t is weird that this didn’t happen earlier? It’s been on the iPhone for a year<\/a>! Anyway.) The catch? For now, it only works on the Nexus One, which basically nobody owns<\/a>. Don’t worry, Droiders: Soon<\/em>.<\/p>\n

For now, Google Earth will only work on handsets with Android 2.1, which effectively limits it to the Nexus One. The good news is that the Droid<\/a>, and some older HTC handsets, are due for a 2.1 upgrade relatively soon. The bad news is that even Google can’t even escape Android’s increasingly worrying fragmentation problem with its own apps, on its own operating system<\/em>. This doesn’t bode well.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the app looks almost exactly like it does on the iPhone, meaning that you get to play God with a barren, lifeless Earth, in full 3D, with your fingers. Oh, and there’s voice navigation! So there’s that. [AndroidGuys<\/a>]<\/p>\n
