Maybe this isn't what you're after but i'll post it anyway: Google Geo Developers Blog: Fab Friday: A view from the street
You can add your panoramas to a Google Map as custom StreetView imagery.
That way your panoramas are viewable in a WebView.
You can see how i've added some panoramas to StreetView here: Panorama Camera
Where my panoramas cover the same area as Google's official Streetview you'll see links from Google StreetView to my panos and vice versa.
(That link is on my home broadband so may be down at times or just a bit slow).

Hi.
The QuicktimeVR format is not natively supported by Android.
The WebView has (partial) Flash support but not support for Flash panoramas.
Pano2VR is a software that can create Flash panoramas but as i said the WebView Flash support is not complete and Flash panoramas won't work in a WebView.
I've had a search for you and found not a single method to display panoramas in an Android application.
Have you got the original source images that the QuicktimeVR panorama was constructed from?
If not then you can export the QuicktimeVR to a different image based format - a series of JPG images maybe.
So you already have the original panorama source images OR you can export the QuicktimeVR to get the images - i think from that point on your only option is to develop your own panorama viewer.
An OpenGL solution would be best and i think would be able to take advantage of any hardware acceleration available on a device.
I have no experience with OpenGL so can't help there.
As i posted before, you can display panoramic imagery using the Google Maps API BUT it's not a straightforward task.
You can't use the Google Maps API to create a standalone panoarama for example - you'd need a WebView and internet access and all the panorama images would need to be cut into a series of tiles (a series of tiles for each zoom level) and these tiles would need to be hosted on the internet.
There'd be far too many tiles to include them all in an application.
