Earthscape is building a social geobrowser, says TechCrunch. Users mark choice spots on a virtual globe with stories, photos and travel tips.
This video was shot by Frank Taylor of the Google Earth Blog. You can fly to favorite places and see what others have shared, and view restaurant reviews, Wikipedia articles, etc.

The HAVA Mobile Player for S60/Windows Mobile gives HAVA owners the ability to watch and control all of their home television channels from anywhere on a mobile device. The HAVA Mobile Player for Nokia’s N810 Internet tablets was announced earlier this year at CTIA. The S60 Mobile player will be available as beta this June, with the final product scheduled to launch as a free download a few months later.
The HAVA box captures your satellite/cable box or DVR (TiVo, etc.) signals, encodes them, and streams them out to the mobile player. The mobile player can send remote control commands to your cable box/DVR.
HAVA is like a Slingbox except it can run on a Nokia Tablet with WiFi and WiMAX, will run on Windows Media Center boxes and supports multiple simultaneous viewers. Handy for replaying NASA TV highlights.
