Cycloramic Makes your iPhone Spin 360º

Ever found your cellphone slowly moving across a tablet when it's vibrating? Now we have an iPhone App that puts that same principle in use to make it spin around and capture a 360º video: Cycloramic.

It sure will be an excellent way to impress your friends, as most won't believe that a standing iPhone will be able to "vibrate" itself around so perfectly - which by itself might be worth the $0.99 they're asking for it.

As for any practical uses, I think it would make much more sense if it was able to capture a panoramic photo instead of a 360º (or less) video pan - captured in portrait mode to make it even less usable. Maybe they'll update it in the future, but as of now, its value is purely as a "novelty" that can impress people.
