I will be giving it a try this week. Just have to find my first guinea pig location. Maybe a Civil War battlefield? An overlook of the Potomac River from the cannon gunnery site? Probably just the empty athletic field down the street.

Yea, all I did was stand up, open up the camera on my iphone, then kinda turn in a circle.
One tip though, when you're doing panoramic photos (whether with a camera or with a smartphone), the pivot point should be the camera itself.
Essentially, you either put the camera on a tripod and then move around the tripod, rotating the camera, or you hold your phone and imagine that it's on a tripod and you move around it.
The panoramics tend to blend together much better when you do this....there's technical reasons for it that I won't get into, but just trust me, it works better.

Can smartphones do the 360s? If not, here are the details for doing that the hard way, complete with the software stitching process:
