Google Earth iPhone Version Is Being Developed

A startup company called Earthscape is developing a Google Earth style application for the iPhone - that lets you tilt the phone to navigate around to different parts of the globe.

This early demo of the app - which is being developed using the iPhoen SDK and is currently in private beta on Windows only - was originally posted on the Google Earth Blog.

Here’s a little more detail on the Earthscape Mobile program:

The demo is of a mobile application (Earthscape Mobile) in development that puts virtual earth software on the iPhone. When the iPhone is tilted, the earth begins to rotate and you can navigate to another part of the globe. Taylor notes that the app was running locally on the phone, and that ideally you’d would want real geo-spatial information downloaded over WiFi or 3G, which would take a ton of bandwidth and effect performance.

Jing - Screen Capture Apps

Jing is a screen capture application that allows you to select and capture parts of your screen and save that area as a static picture or even a movie. Then you can add arrows, text and box highlights to draw further attention to the area you want to highlight.

The thing that makes Jing unique is that it has a “share” button, which allows you to share the image or video with a friend by connecting to the free screencast.com image hosting solution. Click share, it uploads your media behind the scenes, and places the link to the screen in your clipboard. You can then email or paste that URL into your chat application for your friends to see.

You also can use Jing to record video..
