Google Earth gets optimized for Honeycomb tablets, interior photos hit Google Maps next week

There could have been a slight shortage of Honeycomb-optimized apps to move at the side of the 1st round of tablets, but things are actually beginning to pick up a little , and Google has now filled in a single more gap itself. It’s just released a Honeycomb-optimized version of Google Earth , which brings with it support for fully textured 3D buildings that you would be able to view from street level, in addition to a brand new action bar on top that permits you to jump between layers and other options. What’s more, Google has also now announced that its new Business Photos feature for Google Maps (Places, specifically) will start to roll out next week, offering what’s effectively Street View for the within of outlets and other buildings — with the owner’s permission, for sure. Head on past the break for an illustration of ways it’s going to work.
