I've been getting a bunch of information on one of the products that MSI showed off at CES and I didn't pay much attention to because it seemed like a curiousity, but as I've been looking at it, it seems like a really cool little home product and one they've obviously put a lot of design effort into making.

The SomeThings (which I'm guessing is a child company focused on unique kinds of gadgets) Panocam is a full 360 degree panoramic camera that sits anywhere in your home, plugs into USB, and is operated remotely by any iOS or Android device through an app, or through a web browser.
It's got a unique and I think quite attractive appearance:

They've made it possible to place in pretty much any location - upright on a surface looking around, downwards facing out, even wall or ceiling mounted.
It takes 1600x1600 video and it can do timelapse, which all gets configured via the app. From the demos it looks very easy to dial into your feed at home from a phone.
The app looks easy to setup and manage:

And in addition it has a built in speaker and microphone which can playback music from a phone, or be used to hold conversations with people around the Panocam. So all in all a very cool device.

This seems like a very interesting product actually...

Are there any decent product pages, or possible pricing of this item?
 
Ouch... R3k (plus a bit) is a hefty price tag, but might be worth it in the long run.
