Christmas is approaching, and what better way to wile away a minute or two than with a virtual snow globe? The kind folks at Pop Art created this iPhone Snow Globe that one 'shakes' by changing the orientation of the iPhone (using this method, perhaps?).
To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.

To get it on your iPhone, just "type" in www.iPhoneSnowGlobe.com and enjoy.
It was a lot of fun to put together. If you dig it, digg it!

Didn't have my iPhone handy so I clicked on the link in the post and shook my monitor to see if it worked. Sadly, it didn't.

please don't make me type %2D on my iphone -- learn how to properly name a web page instead.
also, it doesn't work for my old firmware.

you know, the MBPs have orientation sensing devices also, right? I mean, if you use AMSVisualizer.app it shows how your computer is tilted... surely the same thing could be applied to this webapp? or, maybe it would have to be a standalone app? ...
