SpinCam is a recently released, currently free little app for the iPhone which allows you to prance around your subject or twirl inside a space to capture them from every angle. It seems, the app then plays the images back in sequence as you swipe over them, making it appear as if you are panning a stitched panorama or controlling an object movie.
You need to go pretty slow, that is you need a lotta light for this to work reasonably well, but the process is incredibly easy.
Lotsa features are still needed to make this app viable beyond its toy appeal, but even if those won't come around, I will be spinning a lot more.

A Brief Time-Lapse Panoramic Video
Sadly, I have not yet found a way to relierbly loop a YouTube video on iOS. But it works nicely in all desktop browsers I tried.
UPDATE : You can watch the time-lapse interactively via the *free* GoPano App. So install it if you don;t already have it and mosey on over HERE:
iOS link: » http://gopa.no/BfK
And there's no other way worth watching this. Well, except for interactively, which is coming soon. I think.
The images were taken in 'alco-focus', which is something characteristic to taking photos whilst drinking. Not to be confused with 'auto-focus', or any particularly sharp focus of any kind, really. But as all things tend to work out in the end, the slight blurriness adds to the video-like quality of this 24 frame panoramic photo sequence.
For best results, crank the resolution up to 1080p, once loaded.

Panorama shot on my iPhone 4S. I *did* replace the sound of police helicopters and gunshots, with a more pleasant ambient sound. Just kidding. Or am I?
The footprint of the mount was left in on urpose. You know, for the techies.

Molly Crabapple locked herself in a hotel room for 5 days and, having wallpapered the walls, she covered those with her art from floor to ceiling. All, as an experiment in pushing one's artistic limits to extents never before and into zones outside of one's comfort.
Part of her birthday celebrations, the effort was financed through Kickstarter, raising over 5x the targeted amount, in exchange for live video feed of her daily progress, bits of the finished artwork, signed pens she used and the ability to suggest her what to draw, or - as it turned out - what music to play to draw to.
I caught a glimpse into the morning after the project was completed, and - clearly - celebrated with a vengeance the night before. Go full screen, zoom in and loose yourself in the world of Molly's creatures.
Happy Birthday, Molly Crabapple.

I actually worked in this building for some time. Sad sight, but there's something awesome about the destruction as well.
It's a Virtual Tour of five panoramas, hotspotted with the added bonus of a scrolling scene selector along the bottom and full feature compatibility with mobile/iOS as well. (Not much scrolling with only five panoramas, but keep an eye out for a loaded example coming soon.)
If using Flash, social network and email sharing is available for added bonus. The coolest thing about that is, that it will also share the exact view of the panorama you are posting.
Like this: http://bit.ly/p1345j.
So go find your sweet spot in any of the five panoramas and post/send the very view to/with your friends. Brilliant, if I say so myself. iOS support for this latter feature is on its way.

» Internatioanl Pillow Fight Day 2009
The 3rd annual International Pillow Fight Day took place on a beautiful spring day on Union Square. It was the 5th annual overall, but the in its first two years, the event did not enjoy participation from around the globe.
If the turnout was smaller than expected, that must have been due to the crowds splitting their priorities between the pillow fight and being among the first to pick up their iPad, released on the same day . . . .
