It is becoming part of Symbian… we need to do some homework on the detail and then we'll write it up.

Stone me!! I want. I want now...

That panorama feature is seriously good. I currently pfaff around with autostitch on the PC to get panoramics. They can take *ages* to render and never look quite right for me.

And the gallery is just awesome.

Heads should be knocked together at Symbian/Nokia. Can you email this video to any high up contacts you guys may have there?

Hi Ben,

In the meantime while they convince the Nokia/Symbian folk, why not make all the functionality into a downloadable mobile app. In the end, Nokia and many others have proven that when an app gets popular they either add it in as a feature or buy it out and then add it as a feature.

I believe it is because, at least in part, the Scalado solution needs to be incorporated into the camera firmware… although their picture viewer app ran happily on a stock N95.

If Scalado and Nokia/Symbian are quite on speaking terms yet, why not offer it as a download on their website. I would download it and then blog about it. If it is good, I would pay for it.

Why not go for a grassroots model? Why is the mobile industry so focused on everything has to go through the carrier or manufacturer? How about just releasing it to the people?
