Microsoft Photosynth innovative technology, which can be used to create and share immersive 360-degree panoramas, landed on the iPhone today.
Here is something going wrong Windows 7 Phone users when they find out about a program that is unavailable in WP7, but is available as an iPhone app, Microsoft has now confirmed the launch of Photosynth, a photography program that will give users the ability to make simple panoramic images using nothing more than the standard camera that comes on the IOS device. Photosynth is not just about taking wide angle shots, but it is the fact that users of Apple devices will now be able to make a near 360-experience of the environment around them with the ability to stitch images taken from all sides, including left, right, up and down. Panoramic images that have been completed can then be stored on the device itself. Alternatively, you can crop the finished product, or save it as a interactive panorama Photosynth.net free.
But Windows 7 Phone owners are perhaps the users that Microsoft should bow their heads over heels to please, still waiting for their own Photosynth approx.
By doing this, users who have never visited a particular place will still have the opportunity to experience the area through panoramic images.
Microsoft's decision to give priority to iPhone development for Photosynth is an indication of a bigger problem that it is facing with Windows phone - it is better to deliver cool technology to larger iPhone audience, or making it exclusive to Windows phone I'm a fan of Windows 7 Phone their? design and overall polish, but not much in the way of killer apps.

If Microsoft Photosynth delivered to WP7 first, it could have been something to inspire pangs of jealousy in the iPhone and Android owners.
There is also a third option Microsoft could have considered: Photosynth release on both Windows Phone and iPhone at the same time.
On the way Windows phone users do not feel rejected (as many are, according to comments on the Internet), and Microsoft will take advantage of iPhone's large user base.
The Photosynth iPhone app lets you upload panoramic creations to Photosynth.net, Bing Bing Maps and local companies, so it's a bit of a Trojan horse for Microsoft.
The app also stacks up well against the 360 \u200b\u200bPanorama, the current king of the iPhone apps Panorama: Photosynth provides higher resolution images, full 360-degree capture, as well as several ways to share your creations.
Microsoft first showed Photosynth in 2006 as a way to stitch together multiple images to virtually visit famous sites - for example, you can see the results of a Photosynth consists of 396 pictures stitched together around the Statue of Liberty.
