Panorama mode enabled in iOS 5 by jailbreakers

A while back we reported that in the developers version of iOS 5, it was discovered that a panorama mode for the camera app was embedded into the code. Unfortunately iOS 5 users can attest to the fact that the panorama mode did not make it into the final release, although we’re guessing that perhaps it might be enabled in future updates. However it now appears as though some jailbreakers (@conradev and @chpwn) have managed to find a way to enable it.

Unfortunately this requires your iPhone to be jailbroken with the latest version of Cydia installed, which shouldn’t be an issue for those with jailbroken iPhones already. For those still running on non-jailbroken iPhones, you will either have to jailbreak your phone or just downloaded the bevy of panorama camera apps already available in the iTunes App Store.
