MSN & Google Satellite Maps

In the 'I hope they saw this coming' department, I wonder where Mapquest is in all of this?

Maybe it is just me, but if I can get a trip mapped out, and also see the satellite imagery, why do I need the flat-form map from Mapquest?

Are these guys soon to be designated horse-buggy manufacturers?

If Google, and Microsoft - through the Pocket Streets & Trips product, add a mobile (cellphone) component to their satellite imagery, do we also add Garmin, TomTom, etc., to the horse-buggy list?
