Very cool.  Especially cool that you caught a download of iSynth in progress :)

Hey Greg -- did I understand you right that these photos were all taken on an iPhone? If so, this is probably the biggest synth from a camera phone so far. Size isn't everything of course, but even so -- great job.

Yep, they're all iPhone photos. It would have been nice to get the higher resolution of a real camera, but it seems fitting given the content :)

Greg, when you've joined the Photosynth team, what are the technical challenges of integrating a link to iSynth from each synth's page here on the site so that you could view synths externally just as we currently view YouTube videos in the external YouTube app?

I'm assuming that there would be some small iSynth related plugin needed for mobile Safari which sounds like a no-go, considering Apple's stance towards plugins like Flash and Silverlight, but I was wondering if it could possibly be as simple as defining a protocol for synths that Safari would delegate to iSynth in the way that it does for Quicktime files etc.

As I'm sure is painfully obvious, I don't know what is required technically but I'd love to see surfing photosynth.net on the iPhone integrated with using iSynth.

Nathanael, No idea what the technical challenge of a feature like that would be. I'd imagine it would either be very easy or completely impossible (for the reasons you mentioned). I don't know what the future holds for Photosynth on the iPhone, but I'll certainly keep your suggestion in mind if I continue to develop it.
