Google Feb. 22 made its Google Earth application available for Android, a move that could boost adoption of the application that let users see satellite and 3D imagery of terrain, roads and other layers all over the planet. The search engine-cum-smartphone-seller polished the code and released it to run on the Nexus One as well as any device running Android 2.1 or later versions. Users can continue to expect that Google apps they enjoy on their desktop PCs and Mac computers will be adapted for the Android platform. This is part of Google’s big bet in a prolonged march on the mobile frontier versus Apple and its iPhone, Palm, Nokia and, now, Microsoft Windows Phone 7.
