and whats impressive about this? my nikon point and shoot camera does this when you put it in the right mode and use a tripod(you can do it without a tripod too, but the perspective usually comes out skewed) just select all the pictures with the included program and it seamlessly merges them into what they have done right there. and that cost me $200.
The panorama assist mode found in many cameras is great, although it's designed for single-row or single-column panoramas. If you want to get past 100 megapixels or so, you really need multiple rows and columns, which is what the Gigapan automates. Some of the larger panoramas at gigapan.org consist of over 900 pictures -- multi-gigapixel :-).

That, or use autostitch which does a pretty damn good job of it.
