Google Street Views: The Google Lat Long Blog posteda on it linking a video demonstration of it in action. I made my own yesterday at personal blog and here it is showing off my office neighborhood.
Check it out yourself, this is a street level view of around times square

I did not demo this because it doesn't run (or run well) on a Mac.
