Street Views On My Phone - Very Cool

Anyone who knows me has seen over the past 3 weeks that I am completely obsessed with my new cell phone - the htc FUZE. I posted a long review about the phone here. And while this site is still about politics and the world around me that many times pisses me off, it ALSO is sometimes about things I find really cool.

The htc FUZE is an advanced Windows Mobile phone and that means you can program it however you want, tweak it endlessly, and do things to it that most other phones will never be able to do. Well today Google made it even better then it already was with the release of Google Maps Street Views for phones like mine. Basic Google Maps was already available and was fantastic with satellite views, maps for directions, and a variety of other info features.

Now they added the very cool street views you can get on your PC for your phone as well. You can see a video about it here.  The picture to the right is from my phone and of a house a few miles away from where I live. As you can see you can literally see the house, yard, road, cars, and more. Pretty amazing. And you can take it a step further with walking directions with similar pictures, addresses, and phone numbers. It is really incredible and I am continually amazed these days. Such fun!
