Ericsson Labs has developed a 3D landscape API that supports the creation of realistic 3D-rendered maps. The Labs have released a demo video showing realtime navigation through a 3D landscape on the yet-to-be-released Sony Ericsson X10 mobile phone. The video performance as the image pans, swoops and tilts is impressive. This proof-of-concept video promises more excitement to come in this area.

Check out the demo video on YouTube.
