Google Maps does do this in "Earth" mode (formerly "Satellite").

  Nice! Is that new? If we could just get a Maps version of that view, it would be perfect.

    I think it's best not to do it as a sphere as you suggest, as that would make it not feasible to use on low resource devices. Also, wouldn't work as well with the tiling approach.
