Why does it have to be a throwable ball? I'd imagine a much better picture if I had the camera on an extendable stick. Perhaps offering both options. I also wish the stitching was better, Microsoft's Photosynth app does an amazing job. An option to be able to lock exposure may help the quality.

If you made it smaller (size of tennis ball?), you could give them to soldiers and instantly have a great intel gathering tool.

I'd have thought a single line of cameras along an American football would work 'better' for that, a sort of scan system¹ ...

¹ - realistically the scan would have to operate too quickly to make a proper scan.
