AWESOME!

The panorama feature is one I was really pining for, watching the demo. Looks like my phone will be getting it! :)

(The other feature, for the record, is 5 GHz wi-fi. It would make my home setup a lot less complicated. Alas.)

It must have the stabilization feature, which only the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and new iPod Touch 5th gen have.

Actually why wait. There is a FREE app that does this already and it works great. It is made by Microsoft and the app is called photosynth. It works on any iphone

Every app I have used always screws up with the stitching at one spot or another, hopefully the iOS does better.

And it only produces shitty-resolution images.

I've used the free Hugin on the Mac to great (if pretty fiddly) effect. Or are you talking about iOS-based apps?

I use Photosynth for work and personal use almost daily, and find it quite a great tool. Would be great if the iOS resolution were better, and also if the image came out a bit more bright. Have found interior shots can sometimes come out quite a bit more dark than the amount of light in the room.

There was a huge bump in microphone quality with the 4S, primarily engineered to make Siri 'hear' things as clearly as possible. Even if you hack an earlier model to work with Siri, the user would have a higher frustration level having to constantly repeat themselves...
