While this may not be particularly exciting news to many of you, photography nuts looking forward to a panoramic camera feature built into the iOS platform will be pleased to hear Apple hasn’t abandoned its development.

In the latest beta has added additional strings that weren’t there in previous iOS 5 releases:

We’ll have to wait and see whether the feature makes it into a future beta release, however, Apple has plenty of time to get it ready for the public release of iOS 5 this fall.

    It will be interesting to see if Apple includes some kind of perspectively correct viewer.  You know, like QuickTime VR.  I wonder how they would do this today?  HTML5?  Certainly not Flash.  Heh heh.

    The usual idea is that you would use NFC to set up the link between the two devices and then do an automatic hand over to a different protocol for doing the actual transfer of data – eg Bluetooth,iphone 5
