Google Maps is available on just about every phone platform out there, but Google Earth is very rare on mobiles. iPhone users have been enjoying it for a while, but now it’s time that Google phones get it too – Google Earth for Android is available in the Google Market. It works on Android 2.1+ devices for now – ones such as the Nexus One.

Oh, there’s pinch zooming as well. Google Earth for Android supports all the stuff from the desktop version – there’s 3D terrains, variable layers, handy search through Google Local Search, voice searching is there too, you can also browse photos, local businesses, Wikipedia articles for particular places and so on.
