Windows Mobile catches up with iPhone and Android: Street View released by Google ! December 10, 2008 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R. A dream comes true! The fabolous Street View technology comes to Windows Mobile - after being available for Google Android, Apple iPhone and Java phones. Google has cars with camera on it, that are driving around the world (USA at first) and these cars are taking photos, that are later merged into 3D view of streets. Interestingly we even managed to find such place where Google car took photo of itself in a reflection of a window (see right side of the lower-left screenshot): 
How to get it? Read on! To download it, open Microsoft Internet Explorer in your Windows Mobile phone with this address: m.google.com/gmm or click here: m.google.com/gmm if you are reading it on your Windows Mobile phone! Note: you can watch street-view also in your desktop computer and you can see also global coverage (mostly USA, also some places in Europe) here: maps.google.com/help/maps/streetview/index.html * * * * * Commentary: Google Gears - a plugin for Internet browsers - is (and was) available for Windows Mobile for a long time already and the fact that Google releases Google Maps with Street View - as a native Windows Mobile application - means that Windows Mobile is a mainstream smartphone operating system! This recognition by Google is a big success for Windows Mobile! No, it is a huge success for Windows Mobile for sure.
