Wonderfully Wacky Camera Phone Accessories
I'm all over my iPhone's camera (not only for snapping pics, but for useful stuff, too), so finding these camera phone accessories made me giggle with amusement. These gadgets may help your camera function more efficiently and expand its range, or they could turn out to be humorous exchange gifts for your next office Christmas party. You be the judge.
What Was the First Pic You Took on Your Camera or Phone?
A picture may be worth a thousand words, but methinks the first photo snapped on a new camera or phone is usually worth less than a buck.
PopSugar Community member Lydiat recently shared the first pic her sister took on her new phone, and I chuckled when I realized I have a collection of similar premiere pics. Whenever I buy or review a new device, my instinct is to take a quick shot of my desk, my shoes, or the street I'm standing on.
Snaptell App Lets You Comparison Shop, Read Reviews
It comes as no surprise that I like books. There's just something about having a shelf full of good reads to comb through when I need it. And although I like having the option of reading a book on my iPhone, I prefer the real deal.
Website of the Day: ScanR
If you are the business type, you've probably been in this situation before: You're in a brainstorming meeting, and your boss is scribbling all over the whiteboard. After everyone's tossed out their ideas, you have a ton of info on said whiteboard to transfer into your notebook. It's not only a boring task, but you're liable to forget something, or worse, run out of room.
Griffin's Clarifi Case Improves the iPhone's Camera
As a photography nut, I'd never give up my camera for the one on my phone, but that doesn't mean that I don't constantly snap candids with my iPhone. Of course, it could be a better camera, but I wouldn't have dreamed it was so easy to improve it and protect it at the same time!
Griffin's Clarifi Case ($35) does much more than keep your phone safe from scratches; its built-in close-up lens covers the iPhone's lens, while enhancing the details and colors in your pictures.
Would You Give Up Your Camera For a Fancy Camera Phone?
The entire tech world's mantra is obviously "Go Big or Go Home" (which is mine too!). Megapixels have been rising in cameras since digital cameras came on the scene, and now they're jumping up in another place: our cell phones. An LG source recently hinted that camera phones could reach 10 megapixels in the near future.
Vintage Camera Phone Puts FOTC Phone Into Perspective
I have been semi-obsessed with oversized, clunky and illogical camera phones ever since I saw the "Mugged" episode of Flight of the Conchords where Jemaine's handmade camera phone (it's literally a camera and phone taped together) gets taken by a street thug. This Canon camera phone is even more fantastic because it combines a spectacular camera with a rotary phone base. Cause everyone needs a rotary phone that can capture images within cord distance, right?
What If You Could Get Better Pics on Your Cell?
I love my BlackBerry Pearl and iPhone. I use them for different things (the BlackBerry for work and the iPhone for play) but I have to admit, neither one of them takes phenomenal photos. The iPhone's camera is definitely superior to the BlackBerry's and the fact that it syncs to iPhoto is fantastic, but I wouldn't let anyone take my head shot with it.
Geek Tip: Use Your Camera Phone To Get Organized
Last week Lifehacker featured a great guide to Using Your Cameraphone as a Visual To-Do List and it reminded me how very useful a camera phone can be. Here are some of my favorite ways to use my camera:
- To Do List - Using your cameraphone to make a visual to do list is much easier than finding a pencil and paper because it's already in your pocket. Sometimes I even take a picture of my list with my phone so I don't have to carry paper.
- Shopping - My sister and I were shopping for dresses to wear to our friend's wedding a while back and we started taking pictures of one another with our camera phones so we wouldn't forget about potential dresses when we moved on to the next store.
Woman 'Exposes' Sexual Assaulter With Camera Phone
Have you ever considered your cell phone could be used as a weapon of defense? Recently in New York City, a 30-year-old woman used her camera phone to snap a picture of a man who had exposed himself and then pressed himself up against her. According to Switched, the woman was finally able to escape the subway train and call 911.
