I’ve found this great video on Google Earth Blog. The application was developed with Apple’s iPhone SDK.
Is this the way we will interact with geospatial data in near future?

Google Maps are one of the most useful applications for mobile devices. Google Maps is relatively fast and easy to use. Apple has preinstalled an Google Maps application on their iPhone. For all people, who do not have a flat-rate contract with their provider and want to have full benefit of Google Maps, there is an nice little Tool called “Maps Offline” where you can download parts of Google Maps data for your iPhone.
The tool can be installed on the iPhone easily (only the Jiggy Framework is needed. Once installed, the users can download maps about various areas. The size of these areas only depending on the iPhone memory itself. In some cases this could be very useful, considering that the city area of Berlin requires 100 MB for the satellite photograph and 40 MB for the map.
Personally, I cannot varify this information because I’m not an owner of an iPhone. Maybe someone can give feedback on this.
