Microsoft Street Slide, new and I want it!

A great way to navigate panoramic views using a more intuitive UI. It's like pressing your face against the car window while someone drives you down the street.

How odd they've ported it to the iPhone. Why not the Kin? And how soon before Google Maps not only copies this but does them one better with a new and improved street view?

Google Maps says "Elliot Bay" Where's that?

Don't get me wrong, I love Google including Google Maps.

But why oh do they call it "Elliot Bay"? I thought there were 2 t's. "Elliott Bay" That's what Wikipedia says too.

Funny.
