Displaying panoramas on G1 phone?
Posted: 4 Apr 2009 at 10:39 GMT
I got my G1 phone this week, but didn't find a way to display any panoramas on it yet. No java, no flash, no quicktime. So, is there a way to display panoramas on the G1? And how about the iPhone? Does it work with Panoguide, for example?

Download the free app - PangeaVR. There is also a proversion. They both work well. There is also an app called Panolab that allows you to shoot (or use existing photos), stitch and display resulting panos.

i dont know about G1,

but showing panos on iphone make very nice impression, you have pano in your pocket wink

i prefer cubeworld as u can use accelometer to rotate pano, and its free, so u can easily download pano to your phone

in free pangea you must download cube faces each time you want to play them, or buy pro version for 12$

you cant play flash movies also...

and dont ask me why apple iphone doesnt play apple quicktime...

Do Cubeworld and Pangeo integrate with the webbrowser or do you need to download the panorama first?

What surprises me is that both the browsers for iphone and G1 do not support Java and Flash which apparently has something to do with Sun and Adobe licensing policies. Flash is announced for the G1 however.

they are totally separated from safari browser, you can browse online panos only inside apps (note that they need different formatted xml if you want to publish your own panos)

iphone support java,
with flash more it looks like apple decision, which will have to change in short time to stay in competition (IMHO)
