There were a few rumours flying around about this over the weekend. MacUpdate even had a download available at one time, but as of this morning, it’s not turning up anything. But in the course of trying to hunt the app down, I found Flash Earth. It makes use of both Google Earth and Microsoft Virtual Earth via a Flash driven interface that looks and acts very much like the main window of GE. And though I don’t know what it’s requirements are other than a decently speedy connection, it’s a good bet that they are lighter than the original apps.
It’s great to see that there is this sort of ingenuity out there to “Rip, Mix and Burn” ideas.
PS/Edit – Have got the app on my machine now:
