Give your iPhone 3G a telephoto lens
From the "really strange looking iPhone accessories" department, we present for your inspection the mobile.brando.com.hk Apple iPhone 3G Mobile Phone Telescope. Dave mentioned this in passing a few days ago, but since Engadget noted it today we went back and took a closer look. This product definitely wins the TUAW award for the longest name for an iPhone add-on. In case you're wondering what the function of this device is, the website says it all -- "Overcome the short coming of camera cellphone that can only near-sighted, it also makes distant view for you at the moment."The idea is to take this
Huh?
If you really need a telephoto lens for your iPhone 3G and don't mind the abuse from friends, you can order one for the bargain price of US$19 plus shipping. For more mind-boggling details or to order the telescope, click the Read link below.

I wonder if I could sell American products in Hong Kong using extremely poor Chinese? Does this work both ways?

I'm all about it. The images that come out using this this look freakin' sweet, like a medium-format holga (the real ones, none of that 35mm crap!) or an old Diana.
awesome. Not convenient, or anything like that, but for a lo-fi hobbyist, this thing is sweet. ...like a less interesting lensbaby. oh MAN! a lensbaby attachment for the 3G would be SIIICK!

Why the hell would you even bother to use the iPhones camera? Its pants!
I mean 2megapixels? Apple were just being retarded idiots when they put it on there originally its a P1ss take, I'll stick with my N82 with my 5MP Camera or my SLR for proper photo's... I mean; who is going to be retarded enough to buy that? and for $20 what is the quality of the product going to be like? - Like everything else cheap from china; crap!
No one buys a iPhone for the camera oO
