    I’ve been wondering when the Google would puts out a version of Google Earth that works on the popular gaming consoles. Think about it. The 3d graphics are already there, all you would need is a disk with the app and an internet connection, which most of the games require anyway.

    The Wii + GE is a beautiful match, but it should work on any of the other consoles.

    Talk about a killer app.
