Photosynth for iPhone
Photosynth for the iPhone has finally hit the app store this week. It’s doing exceptionally well, and it’s not surprising. Taking photos on the phone is a very narrow experience. This app redefines that experience to let you take photos as wide as you want, up to a full 360 degrees. You can then publish your photos and share them in full quality.
I’m excited we’ve been able to ship this so quickly, even more so because it marks the beginning of the end of the “monolithic mobile app” (aka “swiss army knife”) story, which I returned to Bing last fall to help fix. Expect Bing to ship more and more targeted apps in an evolving ecosystem that should work and play well with the rest of the world.
