Do you like the panoramic setting on your iPhone? Do you wish those pictures were a bit more… spherical? Well then you’ll want the new Motrr Galileo. Designed in two flavors (30 pin and Bluetooth) and compatible with all iPhones 3GS and forward (as well as the 4th and 5th gen iPod Touch), the Motrr Galileo is a free standing robotic iPhone platform with infinite spherical rotation. When paired with the free Sphere app, you can use it to take panoramas, or even control the Galileo from another smartphone or tablet for remote camera control; it’s also an excellent solution for taking full control of conference calls, or remotely monitoring your home. Motrr is also releasing a software development kit for integrating the Galileo into iOS apps.
The Motrr Galileo is available for pre-order now and will ship in November. You can find more info after the jump.
