A demo of the mobile application Earthscape offers a look of how the earth appears right on your iPhone. When the iPhone is tilted, the earth will rotate and you can then navigate to another area on the globe. Frank Taylor of the Google Earth Blog who shot the video noted that the application runs locally on the phone and to get the best experience you would want a real geo-spatial information download over WiFi or 3G. This application will allow you to tag specific places with text, photos and other tools. The software is currently only available in private beta for Windows, but Mac and Linux are coming shortly.
