On Android they've actually rolled out the 3D view in Maps recently! Took them long enough. I now have an "aerial" button in the bottom left corner when viewing Street View imagery that switches between the two.
Whoa, you're right! When did they add that? Why would they bury it like that? Nobody will ever find it there. It should be the main satellite view the way it is on the web.
