Idea: If I were to make a virtual globe

Earth globe:

        ideally, Full google earth integration

        realtime weather display with forecasts on touch

        “pinch” zoom, with display centered at touch point

        flick rotate

                tap drag -> rotate with friction

                tap tap drag -> continuous rotate

        begin rotate after timeout

        realtime/selected night/day display

rotating information banner

        rotates, flick support

        stock ticker

        forecast

        date/time

rotating notification banner

        alerts (news, voicemail, email triggers, etc)

bluetooth phone integration

        caller id display

        from iphone/android contacts sync

        speaker phone

        contact selector and dialer

        music control

touch screen

        probably ftir, meaning transparent dome, projection screen separate (how do you get it in there, heat form?)
