Mosaica - 3D Multitouch Panorama Maker
Mosaica is an iPhone app that allows you to create 3D mosaics (which are similar to panoramas) on your iPhone and share them with others.
Mosaics are made by taking overlapping pictures of an interesting scene, which are processed by Mosaica, and related to one another automatically on your phone (no internet connection required).
You can upload your mosaic to the Mosaica service where you can share it with friends and family. Your mosaic is also hosted at our community site m.osaica.com - Mosaica Community Site where an Adobe Flash version is available.

Looked at the web site... it's obviously a ripoff of the concept Microsoft pioneered (can't remember the name at this time), and difficult to navigate an image. Not quite ready for prime time.
You're thinking of Photosynth, but that seems to me to be a rather different thing. It uses Microsoft's servers and back-end software to do the heavy lifting of tiling lots and lots of disparate photos of any given scene into a kind of "3d" navigable image, with (depending on the number of and range of photos making up the mosaic) seemingly magical zoom depths (since close ups can be seamless blended with middle and wide angle shots).
Whereas what we have here is an app that does the mosaic stitching in real time on a phone, the resulting image only being "zoomable" to the extent that a number of shots increase the apparent pixel count of the image. The website is just to share and display. Not nearly as fancy, but powerful for what it is.
