Microsoft Surface Globe pretty much puts the whole world in your hands (well, kind of!).
It uses the Virtual Earth 3D engine to display a 3D version of the world. Using multi-touch, you can navigate to different regions, get local information, and pin your favorite locations.
You can even fly around 3D models of buildings in some cities. The Microsoft Surface Globe was one of the apps Julie Larson-Green demoed at last years D: All Things Digital conference.
To see the Microsoft Surface Globe app in action take a look at the video below
