Dive Into The Google Earth Ocean From Your iOS Device

iOS users who use Google Earth should take note that Google has released Google Earth 3.1 for iOS devices, allowing you to explore underwater landscapes and terrain from your iOS device without having to get yourself wet. You can dive below the ocean’s surface to explore underwater canyons or even travel to the ocean’s deepest point, Mariana Trench. Once you’re underwater and where you want to be, you’ll be able to swipe the screen with two fingers and look around. The latest version also offers support for the new Retina Display, so if you’ve got the iPhone 4 or latest iPod touch, you’re in luck!

Google Google is an Internet Search company with profits mainly derived from its AdWords advertising program. Google is also known for other high-profile web-related products such as Chrome, GMail, Google Docs or Google Map, and it has also made a very successful entry into the mobile handset market with its Android mobile operating system. The company was created in 1998 and went public in 2004. Google is one of the most visited site in the world.

iOS was once upon a time called iPhone OS, or "operating system", which is the software that provides all the basic device functionality and is the interface between the hardware and applications. iOS was introduced with the iPhone on January 9 2007, and it was originally not intended to be programmable by third parties. Steve Jobs had envisioned that developers could create Web Apps that would run in the browser. This changed less than one year after when the iPhone SDK (software development kit) was introduced in October 2007. Today, hundreds of thousands of apps have been created for this platform. iPhone OS became iOS on June 2010. Interestingly, both iPhone and iOS were former trademarks of Cisco, that Apple now uses under a license.
