One thing that’s still missing from this version of Google Maps is Street View, which is alco available in Google Earth App for iOS.

To access Street View, a location must be defined by entering an address or dropping a pin, only then the option becomes available. On iPhone and iPod touch, swipe the address panel on the bottom up to bring the Street View option up.

Two Opposites of iPhone Rumors in One Day
I for one don’t take rumors seriously. These two rumors were published on the same day.
Rumor One:
Rumor: Apple cutting iPhone production by 20 percent
From MacNN
Rumor Two:
Reported Foxconn hiring spree could signal ‘iPhone 5S’ mass production
From AppleInsider
UPDATE:
Rumor of Foxconn hiring spurs speculation on next iPhone
From MacNN
So why would Foxconn be hiring lots of workers if Apple was reportedly cutting iPhone orders by 20%?
One explanation:
Apple is cutting order for current iPhone and ramping up production for next iPhone.
Rumors are stupid.
