I had no idea there was such a thing as 360-degree videos. Sure, I've seen 360-degree pictures: you move your device or swipe the screen to view a scene in every direction. That alone is pretty cool. But im360 Lite is more than that. These are 360-degree videos. I'm watching one right now — a helicopter view of Las Vegas. As the helicopter flies above the city, I can move my iPad in different directions and see forward, backward, up above, down below. Or if you prefer, you can swipe the screen in whatever direction you would like to view.

I recently took a vacation in Hong Kong with my family and I was pretty excited to check out the iPhone scene over there. There were several Chinese-language magazines that covered only iPhone and iPad related stuff, but what caught my eye was this magazine called ‘iPhone’. I bought the magazine and snapped a photo of the cover here.

If you were wondering, like me, how the lady sitting on the sports car could be related to the iPhone scene, I can tell you: “Plenty!”.
