I can't seem to be able to find this in google market. It was released a couple of days ago. I'm on a htc hero 1.5. Can anyone else get it?

Google Sky Maps, Navigation, Goggles, Voice Search.

Making some great apps.

Yes it will eventually be available on other platforms.

I hear that - being on a 1.5 device means we're starting to miss out on the really cool stuff...

Got it on my Magic
Works quite well, not sure what i'd use it for though.

I'm more interested in the augmented reality aspect. Where using gps and compass it knows what you're looking at. This isn't something you'd use all the time, but very useful when you do need it.

Its not like most people use google maps frequently and yet it is a brilliant app.

Have to say this is pretty clever. The first thing I did was point at the watch I was wearing - I built the watch myself but based partly on the dial design on an IWC pilot watch - the dial is not the same but is similar. The search found the IWC. Pretty cool.

This 'new innovation' announcement represents everything that is wrong with Nokia. Haven't they had this functionality for a good while now - and yet no one knows about it. Their marketing is so dire.

What's a Nokia?
