Hello,

Do you plan to build an application for android which will be able to make a photosynth ?

Antoine

i'm also interested on this, after seeing the iOS app around i think they can make a great app for Android too (and WP7 perhaps)

Hi, guys, I'd like to see this too. I think you'll like what Photosynth's architect, Blaise, had to say at the end of the interview at http://bit.ly/mobilepan

A rough transcript between Josh Lowenstein and Blaise Agüera y Arcas: 

JL: "So when does this update come out to iPhone users?" 
BA: "Well, only Apple can tell us that." 
... 
JL: "What about other platforms? Are some of these features coming there soon or later?" 
BA: "Yeah, so many of these features are coming to other devices as well: so, uh, the usual suspects: RIM, Android, WinPhone7."
JL: "Great! Thanks so much."
BA: "Thanks so much."

The video in today's weblog entry ( http://blogs.msdn.com/photosynth/archive/2011/04/12/announcing-the-mobile-photosynth-app.aspx ) says "Available now for iOS. Coming next for Windows Phone." at around the 2:00 mark.

Very much looking forward to an Android version, please make it honeycomb aware (Not dependant, It's just some entries in the manifest) I would _love_ to use Photosynth on my new tablet.

Eager for the android version for use on my droid 2.

+1 for an Android version for my Evo!

+1 for android as well as windows phone

Developers really need to start making the android version first instead of the iphone, cus trust me...android will overtake iphone sooner rather then later.

dont have any kinda apple device besides an old ipod touch which i dont use anymore cause i got my android phone which does everything so id like to see it on android reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaly bad please.

An Android version would be cool!

+1 for an android version

Definitely need one for the android

I just bought a nexus s and this is an app I would dearly love! Any word on a date for release on android?

Android version is a must!

As an amateur photographer I have to say I do love photosynth. It is a great application. Though I am dissapointed in that it has been over a month from the original release of photosynth for the Apple mobile market and we've yet to see an android version. This would be an app I would gladly pay for, and with the rate of growth in android based mobile devices, I am sure that I am not the only one.

Hey everyone, just wanted to give you all a heads up.  We're hard at work on an update to the iPhone App, a WP7 version is next.  We can see the value of an Android version, but our team is only large enough to work on one platform at a time.  

Tony

Thanks for the update Tony.  I look forward to the Android application but at the same time I'm happy to use the Windows app meanwhile.

"We can see the value of an Android version, but our team is only large enough to work on one platform at a time."

- Sounds like a good project to open source for the android community to help develop.

i want an android version for my galaxy s2, too :(

+1 for android app. Using SGS i9000 (Android 2.3.4)

Yet another +1 for an android app. I would buy it on the spot.

Android, Android, Android... pretty please, with sugar on top! :-)

yes please make an android app

I've seen Photosynth running on a friend's Iphone 4 the other day and I must admit I was really impressed. This tool deserves to be on every platforms out there! So yes, once you're done with the WP7 version please give Android some love! Can't wait!!! (Using SGS2 I9100 - Android 2.3.3)

Please! I need this app for Android! only Microsoft can do it!! I hate iPhone... When realise of photosynth for android? :)

I'd be happy to help test an Android version. Please work on it soon! Great product. You can rule the world with this one. Go for max mkt share.

Add me to the list of people wanting to see an Android version.

I'm willing to wait in line for an Android app, but you guys NEED to get a WP7 app out. It looks bad for you to support Microsoft's competitor and not Microsoft.

@EbolaPie, as Tony Ernst said above, the Windows Phone 7 version is next. The truth is that the Windows Phone 7 operating system and app authoring tools needed the updates that are coming in the 'Mango update' in the next few months to write the live image tracking viewfinder that the Photosynth mobile pano app employs.

Blaise will tell you all about it on his weblog:

I just started playing with Photosynth on my new iPhone 4S and I absolutely LOVE it, especially with the 4S's awesome camera.  My sister has an EVO 4G and she is totally green with envy.  Hee hee hee.  Well, for a little while, anyway.  Hopefully you folks will release an Android version soon to level the playing field between sis and I.  :-)

I was blown away by the iOS app for Photosynth. I would love to run this on my Android phone and tablet!

Are you guys asleep at the wheel? Underfunded? Comeon, let's get an Android version going. 
TS

Better, yet... let's look at multiplatform mobile development tools! You could roll 'em all out at once! And update them! I'm guessing that there will be OS upgrades in the future ;-) Appcentric Titanium or similar would enable you to write once and deploy to many if not all mobile platforms. Hmmm, why hasn't MS seen the need to do this? My totally enormous and very expensive Visual Studio Team Edition for Software Developers with MSDN Premium and 3 years Software Assurance won't allow me to develop for the most popular mobile platforms. If my goal is to pay a lot of money to reach some 2% of the mobile market, it's the perfect choice!

photosynth for android??? wow! i bet it will be awesome. tons people must waiting it :D so plz?

I have a MacBook - cant use Photosynth. I have an Galaxy Nexus phone - can't use Photosyth. You're really limiting your user base!

APanoStitch, you can always install Windows on your MacBook. Limit removed.

+1 for an Android App !

Clearly, Microsoft can't get their s^@# together enough to release one for Windows Phone 7, so they won't release a version for Android. It's a shame, too, because the iOS app is excellent.

Crowdfunding would be a option for developing an android app. I had an iPhone but i dont like it anymore, so i bought a SGSII i9100 and poorly there is no derivate for photosynth. Microsoft please go for it.

its a shame, we wait now more than one year for the Android Version...

mybe, the developement is dead?

It's funny how the team justified the release of the iOS app by saying they wanted to reach the large userbase but doesn't release an app for Android even though we have powerful dual and quad core phones with 1GB + RAM.

I would also like to see this app come to Android as I have yet to find a Windows phone worth buying on VZW. However, that being said, I doubt it will come until enough of a stink is raised as it all boils down to war of Microsoft vs. Google. I bet we will see it in the form of another app by a differnt dev. before Photosynth is avail on the Play store.

Wel even as an apple user i find it stupid that the app doesnt work on android. 
Now my family can not use the app after seeing how great it is. 
Start creating it!!!!!

I will pay, just to have it on Android.
But this is classic Microsoft. They started this years ago, with idea to actually take all photos and create one big database of images connected to one another. The idea was to have it on device that will check your location and told you exactly what part of some landmark is missing in database and what needs to be photographed. This way we will all participate in enormous project of 3D mapping an entire world. This supposed to be a revolution.
But no, Microsoft was busy creating Windows 8!
Anyhow, what will happen is that some small group of developers will do what Microsoft didn't, and poor #%!@s will again end up at the end of the line.

+1 for Android! I saw you guys just released the WP7 version in may, so maybe you are already working on an android version, maybe? Anyway, I hope to see this on the Play Store soon. Thanks.

vote for Android

I just saw this app on my friend's iphone. This app is amazing. After playing with it for few minutes, i decided to search for an equivalent app on Android.
I ended up downloading 5 Panorama apps, and deleting all of them. Unfortunately, there is nothing like Photosynth on Android. I hope Its on the way.

VERY DISAPPOINTING THAT THE OPPOSITION APPLE GETS THE PHOTOSYNTH APP AND THE ANDROID GETS LEFT IN THE DARK, COME ON MAN GET YOUR BUTTS IN GEAR!! >:P

@r88fusrat, Google is even bigger opposition to Photosynth (a division of Bing Maps) and Windows Phone than Apple is. =) Google does not allow any of their employees to use a Microsoft operating system on their computers. Google does not make Google Earth apps for Windows RT and Windows Phone 8. Google would love to put Microsoft out of business.

Having said that, Windows Phone 8 now supports programming in C and C++ and Photosynth is confirmed to be close to finishing reworking their app for Windows Phone 8, which means that Windows Phone 8 users should get a faster app.

What that also means, however, is that the refreshed Photosynth app for Windows Phone 8 stands a better chance of coming to Android, since iOS and Android apps can also be programmed in native code (which means that it would take less time and effort to port the app to Android - meaning less expensive from a management perspective - thus becoming more justifiable and likely).

Just the ability to VIEW panoramas on photosynth.net from an Android device would be pretty awesome.  Any chance of this happening?
