Google Maps for Mobile now includes Street View

A demonstration video is available from Google.

Visiting http://www.google.com/gmm to download the Google Maps application should also work for many Java-enabled devices, including most devices running variants of Symbian and Windows Mobile, but iPhone users visiting the page will receive the message "Sorry, Google Maps does not work on your Apple iPhone".
We would agree that the the iPhone's Map application (powered by Google Maps) is superior to the implementation on most other phones (including smartphones) and perhaps waiting for the native iPhone application to be updated is no bad thing.

What Google needs to do is now come up with a GPS program that incorporates Google maps/Earth, StreetView, and voice turn by turn, with google browser embedded to add locations......and have that all linked to your google account.........pull map directions and sync it with your phone.....

I could see that happen on their android phones, but outside that probably not for awhile. The gps location they use on this is within 2600 meters so not good enough for turn-by-turn directions yet...yet.

The "GPS" they use for this is actually triangulating cell towers.
