Spiegel: The panoramic ball camera. [You know you want one.]

Forget pressing a shutter button. With the Panono, you can take a picture simply by throwing it up in the air. Fitted with 36 cameras, it contains a device that measures the launch acceleration to calculate when it is at its highest point and barely moving. At that point, all 36 cameras are triggered and a panoramic image captured from every possible angle -- including of the photographer, who will most likely be pictured with arms outstretched, waiting to catch the camera when it falls back down.
