Google Maps for Pocket PC Released

"User feedback is always an important part of our product development process, and for our latest version of Google Maps for mobile, we decided to put ourselves in the driver's seat. Hailing from London, I recently hopped across the pond with my fellow software engineer Jonathan Dixon to help test out the new features on the Windows Mobile(TM) edition of Google Maps for mobile while visiting the Mountain View campus. I focused on staying on the right side of the road while Jonathan, oblivious to the sights around him, focused on trying out the satellite imagery on his mobile phone."
A very oblique reference to the fact that, yes, Google Maps for Windows Mobile has been officially released today. That's a pic from my Treo 700w, including traffic information on the infamous Cross Bronx Expressway (and as usual, it's backlogged through the Bronx). Overall, a nice app -- since it's more official than Virtual Earth Mobile, I think it feels a bit more polished. If you're curious, hit the link above to download a copy, or just visit google.com/gmm on your Pocket PC and download the CAB from there.
