Google Earth on Desire

[Guest persko]

Google Earth is a nice application; but it is not available on market, you need to go to a special webside:

http://m.google.com/earth

But then I get the message, that my phone is not supported, and going to the web site:

http://www.google.com/mobile/earth/ I find out that only Nexus one, the Motorola Droid, and the iphone

is supported. Just wondering why Google does not support the Desire, it is almost the same as the

Nexus one. Hmm.

Well as a solution, I found that the .apk file can be downloaded from here:

http://sites.google.com/site/droidlife10/h...oogle_earth.apk,

I got it, installed it, and it is working file, I

just do not understand, why Google does not support all Android 2.1 or higher phones, and then just drop

the iphone.

Google haven't made a "fingerprint" for the Desire (yet)

A fingerprint tells the market what phone you're using and what kinda hardware. If there isn't a fingerprint, the market doesn't know what kinda cell phone you are using and therefore not displaying some of the advanced apps like google earth.

Don't quote me on this!
