My iPhone can do the "sweep across the scene thing" now as well. 
However, it's one level of pano.  That Autostitch app that I use can do 
as many rows and columns as you can fit (I think the limit is around 37 
or so separate images).  I've used it to create superwide and supertall 
images before, and it's addicting.

This afternoon I brought up both images - the I&M Canal Aqueduct - on 
the BATV in the living room.  There, in hi-def, on the 60" Sony, I 
really couldn't tell much of a difference between the pano generated 
in-phone by Autostitch and the one I created by tossing the same raw 
images at Hugin on the iMac.  That blows my mind. A $2 app running on a 
freaking' cell phone can make pretty seamless panos that look as good as 
ones generated by tons more computing power.
