‘Google Maps GPS (Turn-By-Turn) Navigation’ For Andriod 2.0 Phones

I have to say this looks pretty sweet despite the douchey guy introducing it. Sucks that this isn’t for the iPhone, what gives? I guess Google is trying to finally find one thing they can one-up Apple’s iPhone with… and it’s safe to say they’ve succeeded. Half the time I can’t even get a GPS signal on my iPhone when I try to use the TomTom app. Sigh.

UPDATE:

“Google is currently working with Apple to bring the application to the iPhone, but noted that the process is different than the normal App Store submission process, because Maps is a built-in iPhone application. No preliminary launch date was mentioned for the iPhone version.” — Google’s Vice President of Engineering, Vic Gundotra.

Nice, so I guess it’s launching on Android and will ultimately be ported to the iPhone.
