Maps

iPad also features a Map application which is based on Google Maps. But unfortunately only the $629 (and up) WiFi + 3G iPad models will have GPS. It will be an AGPS chip - a true GPS chip that is assisted by cellular and WiFi signals.

App review of John Mahoney

Talking to Apple's Phil Schiller, he said that if he had to name a favorite app, Maps would be it. On paper it doesn't do much more than the iPhone Maps app, but at this scale, you almost feel like you're working for the CIA as you touch your way through beautiful full-screen satellite info. Street View is also very impressive at this resolution. "Like science fiction," Schiller said as he pinched and zoomed in on the Eiffel Tower.
