Stop whatever you’re doing and grab the Occipital’s 360 Panorama app for your Android smartphone (presuming you own a compatible, Gingerbread-powered smartphone). Yeah I know the Ice Cream Sandwich will bring this capability built-in, but I’m sure it won’t work the way 360 Panorama does its job. Occipital relied heavily on OpenGL hardware-accelerated graphics to make the magic happen. Heck their app will work even without a gyroscope which seemingly is impossible since accelerometers alone cannot track rotation — they are simulating a gyroscope using their own camera-based motion tracking algorithms. Impressive!
Now the question is whether you think 360 Panorama is worth a buck (99 cents actually). I’m confident it is worth every penny, especially if you’re travelling somewhere and want to bring home the memories in a way that wasn’t possible before (at least with an Android smartphone)… So what are you waiting for – hit the link below and take it from there.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
