It’s the Easter bank holiday weekend, so I’ve taken a few moments to scour the App Store for new and popular iOS apps.

I found that Groupon have finally released their app for the UK market, so I’ll give them another chance. Hopefully this time around their offers will be more interesting than my prior experience last year.

What really caught my attention was a new app by Microsoft called Photosynth. What particularly caught my eye on this app was the fact that it takes 360° pictures in all directions, creating spectacular images of views. This app is going to be loads of fun making it extremely simple to create full wraparounds of landmarks and other places of interest. Even capturing a moment in time for someone the other side of the world to experience is a simple process. The ability to post your image direct to Facebook or Bing gives the added benefit of being instantly available to others.

I’m going to take the opportunity of the extended Easter break to try this app out and post some of the images I take online. In the meantime, have a look at photosynth.net for some images other people have taken. Keep you posted!
