iPhone 2.2 Update Finally Brings Google Street View to Maps?
After being sent out to developers last week promising only "compatibility testing" enhancements, the pre-release version of iPhone software 2.2 is starting to spill its secrets. The folks at Mac Rumors have dug up evidence that appears to indicate Google Maps' Street View finally making it into the Maps app, after popping up in the regular mobile Maps applications for non-iPhones as well as, of course, Android, with the cool Compass view feature. On top of Street View, they've also uncovered a few other new features, including the ability to disable the text auto-correction feature while typing. More »

Google Brings Push Gmail, Google Maps Street View, Other Tight Integration to the G1
Android is here, and as to be expected with a Google-made mobile OS, there's a bit of Google App fanciness going on. In fact, it's designed with Google Apps in mind so much that whether or not you're a user of Gmail and other services might determine how useful the phone will be to you. More »

Google Maps Mobile App Now Does Full-Screen Street View
Google's been busy with the Street View drones—and now you can see their tireless work on your phone with today's new version of the Maps app. Standing on your boring corner, you can full-screen, say, Tokyo's streets and compare. The new version also adds more accurate geolocations and a few other interface tweaks, which Googler Josh was kind enough to walk us through, even while hallucinating the Street View "peg man" in his pocket.

Google Maps Captures Natural Wonders by Photoshop
Geologists and people wasting time on the internet alike have failed to explain this particularly repetitious forest in Holland. A pretty clear result of a lazy/botched clone stamping in Photoshop, we can't help but wonder what Google covered up here. Government secrets? Cloud interference? A leprechaun lair? No one knows, but stay tuned as we spend millions of dollars in hard-earned ad revenue to fund an expedition and find out...or maybe just distract you from that promise with a poorly-executed wood-to-penis alluding pun.

Google StreetView Sees Man Passed Out Drunk On Mother's Lawn
Not content to just capture houses burning and other embarrassing shenanigans in the US, Google StreetView has gone overseas and done the same to a drunk Australian man passed out in his own lawn. Now that man is pissed—not in his pants, but at Google—for the invasion of privacy. More »

Test Drive a Solar Array's Wattage Before You Build With RoofRay Google Maps Calculator
Thinking of camping out at Ikea once they start selling those solar panels? While you're waiting, RoofRay will help you plan exactly how many SUNGLYÄSS units you'll need, and how much you'll save. Draw the shape of a prospective solar array on Google Maps' satellite image of your roof, enter its slope angle, and watch RoofRay calculate how much DC juice your panels will generate. It doesn't take into account exactly what kind of panels you'll be using, so of course it's an estimate, but an interesting tool for getting the general idea of how much you could knock off the electric bill. See it in action in a demo video below. More »

Windows Mobile And Symbian S60 Get Google Maps Upgrade With Transit Info
Windows Mobile and S60 users get an update to Google Maps this week that includes public transit stops as well as user star ratings for local businesses. The free upgrade shows not just where stops are for particular transit lines but also allows you to incorporate them into building your route. Blackberry users have had this functionality for a few weeks now and it's likely a feature that will be updated for most other mobile operating systems in the next few weeks. [Google Mobile Blog]
