I am testing this right now. It's very clear to me that there's an obvious reason why Apple didn't release it yet: it sucks.
When it does work, it's blurry as heck. 3rd pic is a good example.
Also worthy of note: The photos are in FULL RESOLUTION. Which means your iPhone 4 is technically capable of near-continuous shooting of 5MP pictures. And yes, this was taken with an iPhone 4.

...and there's the answer to my question. Yeah, I guess it's always been Apple protocol to wait until a feature is perfect before they release it. Makes sense now.
Glad to see there's a good reason, unlike the reason Siri is not on the iPod.
And thanks for the pics, more useful than the OP!
iOS 6 maybe, or even 5.1(.2, .3, whatever they get up to), since they added HDR in 4.1.
Wonder if they'll even include neat little sub-features like automatically matching exposure between images to have the same lighting patterns across the whole panorama.
Knowing Apple, that sounds like something they'd pitch as a feature in and of itself.

Doesn't it occur to you that it didn't get released yet because it's not ready? it's just a raw test, and it will not look like that when it's done!

Wouldn't it be awesome to be able to take a full 360° photo, one that never ends?

It looks like the camera didn't focus properly; I wonder if it's because of the low light or the lens is dirty. Try again during the day, if possible outdoors or with good lighting.
Edit: I just saw your last attempt. It looks very good. Of course, Panoramic photos tend to distort when the subject is close. There are some algorithms that may be able to compensate for it, and provide a better image.
The autofocus messes up the pano every time. You'll have to turn on AE/AF for any satisfactory result.
Here's my room when shot in 360 Panorama. Yeah, big difference. Except this shoots at a lower resolution instead of at the full 5MP resolution.

If you're referring to the black thing to the right, that would be a corner desk...

Doing this kind of thing with "Pano" app from Debacle for years now. There is a Flickr group for it: http://www.flickr.com/groups/iphonepanoramas/
Am I missing something from this?

Sweet! I'd love more options for the camera.
I've been using the 360 App, it's a pretty awesome app.

well one this is for sure and that is Apple better release this asap or else android will now that they have another thing to copy
But Android (4.0) already has it. It's once again the case of Apple copying Android (and many other cameras that had it for quite a while). I know that my Sony P&S has this mode.
I may be doing this wrong but it looks like on iOS 5.0.1 beta it doesn't work.
The log returns: (null)
Code:
NSMutableDictionary *dict = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:@"/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mobileslideshow.plist"];
NSLog([NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", [dict objectForKey:@"EnableFirebreak"]]);The log returns: (null)
Panorama photos usually require the viewer to give a crap and expand the photo to see what the hell is going on.
Otherwise it looks like a little strip and unless people care to expand the image (AND THEY DON"T) it's a stupid feature that only the person taking the photo cares about.
That's why it didn't make the cut
