Oh hey, Ericsson has labs just like Google and Nokia. Neat. They’ve published their first YouTube video, showing off a map with 3D structures working on the Xperia X10. Of course, the X10 runs Android, the APIs for which have been available since November, but it’s pretty sweet to see them in action. Ovi and Google Maps have their own ways of making buildings pop out, and also include tools for enabling third-party developers – I wonder if any developers would pick Ericsson’s solution over theirs, especially if they’re making something for Android. For a closer look at the tools, hit up Ericsson’s 3D Landscape page.
