I'm snidely and only-half-jokingly wondering if the delay in getting an update to Google Earth (the <em>ONLY</em> Google application that I use [and enjoy greatly]) out is time spent figuring out how to <em>remove</em> Linux support from the next version...

Yes there has been no news at all on 'MyMaps Data API' even the schema's have gone missing http://schemas.google.com/maps/2008#map (dns error now) I would like to see this come to the public beta, editable/creation of points, polylines and polygons mapping within the API is the route to go. As well as better KML support. Google Earth 4.3.7284.3916 (beta) - Jul 8 2008 now thats a long time for a product in beta on par with firefox 3. Maybe Google Earth 4.4+ is due soon ish? I guess we have been blessed with a big spurge of innovation in the last couple of years from Google on Geo products... now bits are going missing/closing - Google Pages was excellent - just needed ftp/multi-file uploads. Looking forward to Google Street View in the UK. Lots of potential with that. Though bear in mind the huge cost for all this digital capture/storage/bandwidth - many millions of dollars and we get access to it for very little if not free.
