This gadget has come out for the iPhone and will apparently be available on Ebay this week..

The demo 360 degree video is "awsome". The potential is huge
Makes me wish I had an iPhone.
Hope that someone buys one and post a video or two

No connection to anyone

My cousin has invested in that and has one... He was showing it off on his iPhone 4.. The resolution is not high enough to give a good vid... But it was still pretty cool. You can film one thing, and then when u playback look anywhere in the room.

The attachment is pretty cool, it would be excellent for media scrums and press conferences..

Interesting idea, but I don't see the point, it's not like you could give a guided tour because you'd be (somewhere) in the frame, and surely the point of a video is to highlight what's interesting and film that, rather than everything around you.

I'm a little underwhelmed to be honest

The quality is very very low res, and while in isn't a movie I think Yachting Monthly's 360 tours do far more in the way of showing someone around.

I prefer something like this:


OK there is a big price difference between the kit I use and that, but I won't be buying one
