Check out an application which integrates Google Maps "Street View" technology to give you a real look at the Las Vegas Strip. It features a smart user interface design that I'm sure will be adopted into more than just travel websites. User simply click a hotel parcel on the map (ie: map overlay) to your left... then get the view from that location on the right. For additional features, check out the instructions listed at the Vegas Hotel Hunt website.

Last week, I noticed some news that Apple teamed up with Skyhook Technologies. Well, tonight I found a video that explains the LBS widgets in more detail (view in IE or Safari, wouldn't play in Firefox). In fact, as it turns out, Skyhook was mentioned in Steve Job's Macworld 2008 Keynote Address.

I discovered a new LBS tonight its called time2me, however my Treo 700P is not supported. At this moment they only support Windows Mobile phones but soon Java versions for Nokia and BlackBerry will be available. In any case this is a slick mobile application that combines location sharing features with best route to take recommendations, obtained from time2me's free traffic network.
