Just finished.....(took a while)....apart from rating applications and a slight visual change to Safari, I don't see much else. There's still:

- No flash
- No cut and paste
- No MMS

Bit of a let-down really.....

Nope.....no luck......tried in London, tried everywhere but can't get anything.

Do you have to install Google Earth or does it work through the regular Maps program?

I don't think London is mapped. If you go to New York in Google Maps (on your PC, dunno about your phone) there's a street view button. If you click it, it highlights streets that have been mapped. You can then zoom in and look at them.

Try in In USA

I am sure they are implementing the idea in UK atm.

Street view hasn't covered London yet, try New York or Tokyo as a test.

I have tried google maps and google earth in the countries USA Australia France etc that have street view but can't get street view on the ipod.

Is it the red pin that you tap or do you have to drop a purple pin for it to work?

Ah so it's only on the iphone then?

I've got the Touch and am having increasing problems with Safari crashing. Anyone else have this problem and is there a fix? All software is up to date.

It's only the street view that's missing.

Downloaded the update for my iPod Touch and it restarted then got stuck on the "connet to iTunes" screen and had to restore it .

Bit wary now wether to update my iPhone 3G or not.

Have read on a couple of blogs of it happening to others.
