This would not be enough for me to switch to an Android phone. On that note, I think we need a strategic alliance between RIM and Google. I'd love to see Android run on RIM's BlackBerrys, the way people can install WinMo on Palm devices.

But I don't read any hint in that or elsewhere though that we'll ever see it on BB. Coming to iPhone would mean a custom app in Safari, since gmaps can't yet be an app via iTunes yet, right? If there was a decent webkit browser native to bb we'd have more chance at it sooner but BB being so hard to develop for I suspect we will be last of the top devices to get GMapsNav. Boo......

And will be available when devices like that ship. (Google demo'd the app to us on a Droid, FWIW.) Other platform support will be announced "by carriers and phone makers" when they're ready, but Google implied they are working closely with Apple now on it. http://gizmodo.com/5391408/google-maps-navigation-a-free-ass+kicking-turn+by+turn-mobile-app Gizmodo posted this:

This kind of thing is making Android more and more compelling every day. I'm actually trying to talk my wife into esiting for a Droid next week rather get a Storm2 today! From my BlackBerry Storm...
