Fast Facts:
You'll need to download the Skyline Software TerraExplorer app. Fast and Free. You'll be prompted for it. You can also go to this page and download. As you'll see, once you have it, you can virtually fly over several cities in 3D. This page is a showcase of other apps (most free) that use Skyline technology. Have some time available, you're going to need it. :-)
Also, if the name Skyline Software sounds a bit familiar, kudos. We've mentioned the company several times including about two months ago when we linked to a sneak preview review of their coming soon, SkylineGlobe. It's a 5Mb plugin and offers all sorts of features as Adena Schutzberg notes in her excellent review.
Lawsuits
Worth noting that Skyline is suing Google for patent infringement for tech used with Google Earth. News.com reported that Google won an early decision that allows them to continue distributing Google Earth as the case proceeds. The trial itself is set for mid-November or mid-December of this year.
