Google is supposed to be introducing software today, but I haven't seen it or heard anything else about it yet... http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/051107/google_mobile_maps.html
Google doesn't plan to display ads alongside its mobile maps. I dont think there is enough space for that
It's pretty cool... Using it on a RAZR V3. Would be cooler if my cellphone had a GPS, but it's still cool nonetheless. Just like Google Maps... can flip between maps, satellite, and you can search and it plots the location on the map, etc.
Most importantly, there is now a song for it. Also available in MP3 format so you can use it as a ringtone... http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2005/11/get-lost-and-found-on-your-phone.html I have no idea who Matt Waddell is but I like him.
Good find Shawn - very "now" Newsday ran an article about this today that's pretty interesting: http://www.newsday.com/business/ny-bzgoog084503321nov08,0,1072584.story?coll=ny-business-headlines
cool - nice post. I wonder what on earth G is going to do with all these neat toys? Impress investors? Goog is at $389 at the moment....so i think its working...
