Riverfold Software says:
Clipstart complements your photo application to give you a place that is designed for home movies. Import your movies, tag, search, and upload with one click to Flickr and Vimeo. You can even quickly upload a trimmed portion of a movie without needing to save a new copy. If you have dozens or hundreds of short movies from a Flip or video camera, Clipstart provides the workflow to finally make sense of them.

From Novelties – On the Lookout, With a Digital Security Camera – NYTimes.com:
The camera, the Digital Window D7, uses five 1.3 megapixel sensors just like the ones in camera phones, each aimed at its slice of the total view. Ingenious programs and a controller chip synchronize the five images as they are received, stitching them simultaneously into a panoramic stream that transmits at 15 frames a second.
From About Those New CrunchPad Pictures:
The goal – a very thin and light touch screen computer, sans physical keyboard, that has no hard drive and boots directly to a browser to surf the web. The operating system exists solely to handle the hardware drivers and run the browser and associated applications. That’s it.

Occipital’s ClearCam also wants to help you take better pictures. But it does so in a fairly unique way. ClearCam takes six pictures in rapid succession (around 2.5 seconds), automatically picks the sharpest of the six, then — using that sharpest shot as a baseline — merges the frames together to generate a super-resolved 4 megapixel image.
