3D Earth on the iPhone

May 26 2008, 2:00pm CDT | by Luigi Lugmayr

Earthscape is developing a virtual globe application with social layers so that in the future they will be able to offer the world's richest geographic browsing experience.

At the Where 2.0 conference Earthscape showed their 3D earth on an Apple iPhone. The demo is already pretty impressive and has the appeal of Google Earth on the PC.
Wayfinder already developed a 3D Globe navigation for mobile phones dubbed Wayfinder Earth in 2006. I'm not sure whatever happened to it. It is still in beta.
See the video of Earthscape pre-release on the Apple iPhone on TechCrunch. See also the Earthscape site.
