Official Google Blog: Cingular BlackBerry 8800 has Google Maps and GPS
Some of us have a great sense of direction, and others find themselves, well, a little lost at times. For those in the latter camp, you can thank Cingular for launching the BlackBerry® 8800, the latest open GPS-enabled device from a major U.S. carrier. That means that when you use Google Maps for mobile, your location automatically shows up on the map.When you download Google Maps for mobile and fire it up, you’ll notice something quite unusual: a blinking blue dot showing you exactly where you are!
I hate carrier-specific tools like this and the iPhone. The blue dot is pretty cool, but also pretty Orwellian.
