iPhone camera as microscope
Flickr user curiouslee noticed that the iPhone's camera lens is flush to the back of the device, and took a photo with a pocket magnifying glass held against it. The results looks good (that's the command key on his Powerbook). He's started a Flickr group for anyone else who wants to give the idea a try (this one looks pretty good).While you're at it, here's a good article on taking macro photos with a cell phone.

-_- Well, that's just common sense.
Wait till they realize that you can put it up to binoculars and telescopes! ;)
TUIW rocks! I think TUAW is doing the best job of collecting the impt iPhone goodness. We are all going to get used to iPhone upsetting the cell phone world. Maybe the web boss could put a little link up under FEATURES (fyi this is a great feature!) which removes iPhone news for those who are beginning to have an allergic reaction. Call it something cool. "iPhone-Not!"(?)

Oh and WTF. Wanna label curiouslee's flickr page as not safe for work? I just opened it and got a screenful of boobies!
I don't hate the iPhone, but seriously... Do I NOT have a point when I say that TUAW doesn't do this with other Apple products, why the iPhone?

I wouldn't have such a problem with so much crappy coverage of the iPhone except for the fact that I've never seen TUAW do this with any other Apple product. Can we please get some other news? I know there is stuff going on out there in the software world...
You can also hold binoculars up to digital cameras and get optical zOoMmm
Yes optical ZOooM
i suggest we try making calls wearing a bucket on our head. that would make a post titled "iphone microphone as well emulator".
the list is endless but our patience isn't.
