Another Reason To Buy An iPhone 4: Making Panographs Is Easy

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJyA4vvnmZE]

Here’s one more trick exclusive to the iPhone 4: Launch new app You Gotta See This, pan the camera over a large subject and the app will create a panograph — a collage of still photographs that together form a larger image — using the series of still images just captured while you were waving your iPhone around. The key to this wizardry is the 4’s gyroscope, which helps the app place the images exactly where they should be — which is why the app won’t work on any iPhone but the 4.

Once created, masterpieces can be saved, emailed or shared via Twitter or Facebook.

You Gotta See This is $2; hopefully the developers will use some of the profits to buy the app a better name.
