I think those Away3D demo's are awesome!

Looking at this one - the advertisement on the page blocks me from seeing
it:

Not to always talk about my own stuff but I'll mention one last time that
I'm still really keen on getting or joining any good open source spinny
globe project to try and deliver a reasonable 3d globe in the browser:

   http://hook.org/globe_may72008/bin/spinnyglobe.html
   http://spinnyglobe.googlecode.com

Right my version is illegally proxying tiles from Yahoo... and doing so very
badly due to limits on my time - I have yet to finish it by myself and I
haven't found anybody who can follow even this simple algebra and who is
interested :-(.  It is using code that I found in the Stamen ModestMaps...
But the hope is to later fetch legal properly projected tiles from say
onearth or elsewhere; or to reproject them....

There are many many of these globe projects out ( see
del.icio.us/tag/spinny+globe ) but none appear to be open source other than
the most trivial texture-mapped spheres.  It feels like if people would
actually collaborate a bit we might end up with a good visualization
platform that we could all then do more interesting things on top of...  and
it feels like free marketing and press if a company were to make this
foundation free.

I saw several of these for the IPhone as well at Where 2.0  - in particular
Denis @ Poly9 has a very nice one.
