USGIF Launches a Blog
I have mixed feelings about this announcement. I do agree that having a "place" for GEOINT discussions is a good thing and to date to my knowledge, there is no such place. For a time there was a GEOINT focussed publication (not from USGIF, but from the folks behind Geospatial Solutions; I think it still exists in e-mail form) but on the whole that side of the industry tends to be rather close-lipped. Perhaps that's why the publication didn't last too long?
Will a blog do better? Will the blog called "got geoint?" meet the high minded goals noted in the press release?
Hosted and managed by USGIF, got geoint? provides unfiltered access to the views and opinions of intelligence and defense community leaders from government, industry, and academia. In addition, commentary on the latest developments in defense and intelligence will be mixed in with fun, hip and breaking news the about the broad range of topics related to geospatial intelligence.

TomTom Beats Expectations; Updates Loans for Tele Atlas Acquisition
TomTom reported operating profit just over analysts expectations for the third quarter, but the company cut expected profits for the year.

A few words on Google Earth on the iPhone
First, from Josh Lowenstein writing at C|net/Webware:
If you're done playing around with Google Earth for the iPhone, you might be interested in checking out something with some everyday utility. Last week Box.net dropped its iPhone application on the App Store. Just like the mobile Safari-friendly version of yore, this lets you access your cloud-stored files on the go, including documents, music, and movies.
Now, from me:
I don't use Google Earth on the desktop, so I'd not use it on an iPhone, if I had one.
