Tamaggo 360 Panoramic Camera Has Your Back

This cute little robotic egg will shoot a 360˚ panorama, instantly There are now plenty of ways to shoot panoramas with your iPhone, from add-on donut-shaped lenses to a whole home-screen's worth of app that will stitch and twist your images into a patchwork poster. But what if, like me, you don't own an iPhone? The answer, in 360˚ pano terms at least, is the Tamaggo 360-Imager. If R2D2 had been designed in the 1980s, he'd have looked like the Tamaggo, a dedicated pano-shooting camera with a 14MP sensor and a panomorph lens. Snap a picture and the camera will auto detect its orientation and create either a Streetview-style all-rounder or a more traditional long (horizontal or vertical) panorama. The $200 egg is pretty feature packed. There's a touch-screen for framing and review, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections, and the entire pano is taken in one snap. There's also an integrated stand. For $200, this thing could be a steal. Not only can you go back and check what the creep behind you was doing while you shot a picture of your hot girlfriend, you can pull parts of the picture apart later and recombine them. I wonder if there will be a companion app for the iPad or iPhone after all? The Tamaggo will be on sale in the second quarter of this year. And whatever you do, don't say Tamagotchi.
